Anybody have any thoughts before I have to tear the top end off.

Those readings are all over the place. Did you first warm up the engine before doing the tests? It doesn't have to be hot, but with these modular engines you just don't want it to be stone cold like from sitting overnight.

Ya the tester is on tight, I've done this a few times and it seems like the pressure is up when cold and drops when warmed. Thinking mabye a cracked head that mabye opens more when hot.
Going to take head off and inspect, any tricks with removing head and or cam?

Found a good video on YouTube for head removal on a 03 navi, removed the head and found a burned exhaust valve on #8, cylinder looks good so am going to send it to the machine shop for a valve job - I'm sure this will be the fix!
Thanks to all who replied, I guess a simple compression check early on could have saved some time and money.
