Ya dont even worry about that too much, that is still good compression numbers for that much mileage.. Try pooring a little oil couple table spoons in low cylinder and then do it again and see if it goes up.!
Also make sure you have injectors unplugged and you have car @ full throttle when starting it.

screw rebuilding, get piston rings for 20 bucks and get a oil pan gasket and some thread lock, you'll be good as new

That's what I'd do.
And when it finally goes, just find another engine and drop it in. It might cost you $250.00 or so and IMO it's easier to swap an entire engine rather than rebuild one.

or just replace the head gasket now instead of running the car in the ground, blowing it, getting towed, new longblock.. shrug thats what 400-500, head gasket and studs are 120... takes all of what 3 hours for a noob to swap a head gasket

1. Cracked head. 2. Blown piston 3. Cracked Block 4. Blown head gasket 5. Broken valve component - spring, cracked seat, bent valve, bad lifter any of these could be your problem

Re: (flood)
dude chances are the exhaust valve has too much **** around it and needs to be cleaned. run a leak down test your best bet to see what it really is. but that compression isnt too bad. just run it till it blows up and get a swap thats what i did.

That may sound ghetto, but atleast it might give you a few more months to save up some money and what not. Just NO racing
