compression numbers nasty!

So I just got back from the shop... FINALLY got my vaccum leak taken care of at Redstone in mtn view. Great guys, but damn it cost me 7 bills. Turns out my IM was warped and it had a blown gasket. Anyway, they ran a free compression test and the numbers are NASTY!:

160 110 85 140 ... Blown head gasket? They didn't do a leak down, will probably get one within the next week or so hopefully... Pressure that low is probably a bad gasket though right? cyl. 3 is REALLY off from the others though.

Get a leak down test first, can't really make to many assumptions...
