Hi. Did you put in the oil before the compression test? The procedure is, 1, do a test to all 8 cylinders, no oil. record readings. 2, add a bit of oil to each cylinder, and do the test again. The oil is added to the second test so you can test valve compression. Adding oil will bring up compression if your valve seals are ok. Do a dry test, just to be sure, but my guess is a valve seal job, not a rebuild. Let us know. jim.
