Default D16Y7 re-ring job low compression after build

I just finished up replacing the rings and I expected it to turn over. I'm getting fuel, and spark but when I ran a compression test on it I got 60, 60, 130, 60.

My first guess was that I was a tooth off nut rotating my crank shows that the cameshaft is still timed correctly.

Is it possible that the rings aren't wet enough to start up and I just need to throw some oil down in them? After almost 18 hours of work this isn't the result I was hoping for.

run us through what you did? How you did it. Something clearly is not right.
