Ok I tried the tester both ways and got the same readings.
#1-400psi
#2-450psi
#3-400psi
#4-400psi
This doesn't sound good to me. After I did 4 & 3 I thought ok Chinese gauge but then I did 2 and got a much higher reading and figured that there is a problem. Most likely stuck rings or the cylinder walls rusted from sitting so long and they are scored.
Hope someone here can tell me something I don't know PLEASE.
With this head design there is no way to scope the cylinders and see what they look like.

I've seen much lower. You'll be fine. Have you checked your valve lash lately?

I am going to oil it and try one more time then put it back together. Wife picked up the new heat shields local NAPA store had 4 in stock. I told him to hide them for me and I would be there.
Next I will go for the IP timing. Should I pull the cover and confirm belt timing first?

Your compression results are great.

Agreed...compression is not your issue.  ;)
