Re: I did what I was scared of today

Did you work with a machine shop during your pre-assembly phase? You might have them check the head for cracks, since it's off. Run a staight edge on the top of the block. If not perfect, the machinist will have to shave it.

No. I think you should have much more even compression on all cylinders, like 120 psi all around. That you don't suggests an air gap.
