Default Compression test problems!

Installed my Inline Pro Headgasket and did a compression test on my car today and got 90,90,90,90 across the board. What could cause the extremely low numbers? possible error with the test? It was a cold start, Car hasn't been driven in months, but other than that it started right up and idled fine with the turbo/hondata, no cel's, no smoke, etc....Its driving me crazy.

Do a "wet" test, shoot a little oil inot the cylinders, this replicates an N.O.T. test
