I just put a new headgasket in my 94 d15b7 motor now it won't start has head resurfaced and tested I have spark and fuel checked compression it reads 90 130 130 130 could it be bad valve seals or timing? Any help is needed thanks

Your compression is screwed. Is your timing correct?

You have one low cylinder.

Is spark bright white at all 4 plugs?

Is the mechanical timing dead on?

Is the plug wire firing order correct?
