Re: compression numbers :( (-HONDA-)
was the motor warm or cold when you did the test?
put a slight amount on oil in each cylinder before you test to help the rings seal and see what happens.
if they are still low then do a leakdown test to help pinpoint the problem.
and check your timing belt, its easy, and if its off a bit then your test will be lower

Re: compression numbers :( (-HONDA-)
125 across is just fine. Don't worry about it and don't put any oil in the cylinders

Yes you're supposed to do it at WOT. I don't know why but if you don't the numbers get a little skewed.

Re: (-HONDA-)
Just so people know testing is done with WOT so air can come into the cylinders to build up compression. If you have it close you could have very weird numbers since theres not enough air in the intake manifold.
