those numbers lean toward either a leak between 2 & 3 with a crack, or more likely a poor headgasket job. you always need to get the head checked for cracks and for being straight/true. I've purchased used 900's that the PO had "just" put a new head gasket in (the head "looked" straight) or the "machinist" that did the job didn't have the proper tools and just hit it with a belt sander. Basically put a bananna bow in the head... have a real shop checkout the head. if it's good the most it should cost is about $50 for a pressure test, put your valve seals in, clean it up for you, and check the deck is true. Well worth the money when you consider the alternatives (redo the job again too soon) and time saved.
