Hey guys I just finished swapping my head gaskets(thanks for the help BTW) and I did a compression test in the number 7 and 8 cylinders. I got 120 in #8 and 130 in #7. Is something still wrong? Its better then before but still not as good as my other cylinders. What could be wrong?

I havent driven or even started my car yet. MAybe once the oil gets around it will help?
