Compression

Compression of 1 and 2 are 30 psi and all the rest is 95psi.
its a 4x4 f250 460 1987.
That is best to do?
some said timing chain could be making the others low and a head leak on the others.

id try spraying water on the block when you do the compression test and see if you can see any bubbles coming from the head gasket its doesnt completely rule out a blown head gasket but it might tell you with out tearing it apart
