    So you took it apart. So did ya place the rings in the proper order on the piston?
    The comp should be @ 170 and higher and uniform in all cyls. next Question is you did a deglase of the cyls?
    Run the engine and do a breakin policy of up and down on the throtle keep the rpm below 5000 for the first 180 miles modulating the throtle up and down again . After all this redo the comp test to see if it had gone up to a normal range. Also do a wet test wth oil to se if the comp increas's -
    Hope this helps (dam spell check is off)
