you are getting wacky compression numbers becuase your valve timing is off and you're getting leakage when you should have compression.
the flywheel is misaligned - you in fact are correct in that the flywheel part number is being used for timing. 20 degrees is about 2 inches to the right of the last number in the part number. you can probably feel them if you cant see them.
once you time the thing i bet you'll get some better numbers.
i also doubt you'll have valve trouble because the part number is very close to the timing mark.
if you havent gone to the townsend website yet (site sponsor) and printed off his 16v head gasket R&R manual, do it and read it a couple times especially the part about how to install the timing chain and set the camshafts up for timing.
