Just thought you might need some special prompting to make you read instructions more carefully.

Is the ECU fuse removed so that no fuel is squirting into the cylinders? If so, repeat the compression tests with a teaspoon of motor oil added to each cylinder (=wet test). If the values increase substantially, the piston rings are bad. Were the block and head from running engines?

By the way, if the cylinders were flooded with fuel during your tests, then your compression values would be artificially low.
