Default BIG compression problem. Please help!

I got my accord out of the ridiculously stupid and retarted shop after 5 months!

I have a RevHard boosted JDM H22A. It wasnt running write at all, pulsating, taking a vey long time to start up, but i had it sitting in the garage for the past couple of weeks doing body work to it. I did a compression test just now to see what is going on,

results:
1st cyl = 125
2nd cyl = 120
3rd cyl = 80
4th cyl = 75!!!!!!

the engine probobly has over 300k miles!!!!! unbelievable. I am soooo angry.

I guess its down to either getting a new motor, or rebuilding it with performance parts while i sue the shop.

What do you guys suggest i do? If i should rebuild it, what parts should i get? Thank you very much for your help.

Rebuild the motor. You have a problem with high miles and probably too much boost on a motor with large ringlands. I would say Sleeve the block and rebuild with quality parts that are made to handle boost.
