I think the numbers mean it's ok. The highest and lowest value are within 15 percent of each other. So for now, I'm going to rule out a bent valve (that would be a crap your pants moment).

I have the new plugs - Bosch 7402 (FR7LDC+), copper with just two electrodes that I will install tonight. Maybe with a little luck it will fire up. The Durametric is still showing no codes being thrown.

I'm not sure you're ok. Hope you are but something I've been thinking for a while on your car is this, AOS was taped up and removed for some reason. If liquid oil was dumped from AOS into the 4,5,6 bank it would bend rods, not valves. Those compression numbers are pretty low, I would think they should be closer to 145 psi. JFP would certainly have the best info here. Good Luck.
