Please confirm how you did the compression test. Did you do what Ed said?650ed wrote: You may not have tested the compression properly. To do so :
The engine must be warmed up to normal operating temperature. The pistons taper in near the top so with the engine warmed up they expand near the top which helps the rings seal against the cylinder walls.
The battery needs to be fully charged.
The throttle needs to be held all the way open.
All spark plugs must be removed.
If you do all that and compression is still low you should perform a leak down test. That will identify where the compression is leaking (could be valves, rings, head gasket, etc.) If you remove the cylinder head before performing the leak down test you will have lost the opportunity to use that diagnostic tool.

Does your compression gauge have a check valve in the tip? If not, that will cause low readings.

I don't really want to repeat the service manual on my site. But my site does show the gasket.
