you should check cylinder #3...rings might be bad or the valves...also did you do a "wet compression test?" with some oil in it? it might change the out come of the test a little bit...

Just out of curiosity, what is the proper way to do a compression test on a KA? I have a tester but am not sure how to do it. Do you just pull all of the spark plugs and crank it?

i pulled all the spark plugs out, removed the fuse for injectors and fuel pump, and cranked 5 times.
