WARNING!!!!
Please do NOT buy the gaskets listed in the post above this! They will NOT FIT your car. They are not available in Aluminum frame, nor are they necessary for a Series1. The OEM or Fel-Pro gasket will live a long life.
The intake port spacing is totally different on your car when compared to the gaskets just posted.

Roughly 150ish we have seen higher reading, but you want to be close to that area.... And you want the lowest reading cylinder to be at least 70% of the highest reading cylinder, No lower than 100Psi

This is an old post but heres an update. I replaced the LIM and still have the same problem. After that I replacing that and still have the same problem I parked the car. The next time I went to start the car up it ran like crap. It would barely stay running and I had to two foot it just to get it to move. I kind of sounded like it was back firing but I know that cant happen on a FI car. I didnt do the compresson check yet b/c I have 92 escort that im replacing the motor in right now. What are some other minor things that I can look at, I wish I had more time and better wheather to devote to both cars, but thats another story. Any help would be appreciated.

It might well have been the head gasket.
Looks like you will have to tear it down again and remove the heads.
Have the heads checked for cracks while they are off and maybe have the valves reground and check your guides for wear.
