NOS head gasket in my opinion is the way to go. The low compression is in cylinders that are next to each other, this may be the result of a bad gasket. If the engine has the original aluminum head I suggest inspecting the cylinder head for corrosion in the water passages, this can also be the problem. I experienced problems with a newly rebuilt engine, all due to a bad aluminum cylinder head.
I torqued my cylinder head to 63 ft lbs.
