The compression numbers concern me, too. But I don't have comparison
data...only inklings that it should be up around 160???

Do you know the history of this motor? Years ago, we used to buy
thicker base gaskets or stack two base gaskets to reduce compression on
pinging motors with bad '80's gasoline. Any suspicion of that here?
