Default B18C1 Low Compression on 2 cylinders help!!

I did a compression test on my wifes B18C1 motor that I just rebuild because of compression issues. I have been driving it around for about 3 weeks and it runs and drives fine it just has no power and a loud angry tick with acceleration. I was a little ticked off with the results of the compression because the are the same as they were before the rebuild.... the test turned out like this... #1-210 #2-120 #3-90 #4-210 it makes me think it has bent valves because I put oil in both holes with low comprtession and it stayed the same so it points at headgasket witch i know sealed right or bent valve... what do you all think??

headgasket or valves - as you have already guessed.

if the compression is the same as before a rebuild, then i'd say valves are the issue. either bent, or lash is too tight...
