140 is as low as I would like so the 130 is a worry and no more than 10% between cylinders you are around 15% between highest and lowest.
Really should have done a wet test with a squirt of oil in each cylinder to see what they bounce up to as that would give you more of an idea if it is a bore & piston problem or a valve & head problem.
But it also can depend on how accurate your gauge is and a number of other factors but I wouldn't be pulling anything apert based just on that one test without doing a follow up wet test.
Will do a wet compression test tomorrow afternoon, the 130 was cylinder 6 which is the one that is misfiring, i dont know if that helps the situation or if that affects it at all

Wet test will answer that question.

Have you had the rocker cover off to check the valve springs on #6?
