Default Compression Test Results, not good- any ideas?

well, after doing a C/T, results are as follows, not sure if my cyl numbers are right, 1 is front left, 2 back left 3 front right and 4 rear right as you look under the bonnet. Not a happy bunny!

1. 108
2. 88
3. 88
4. 62

now, i'm no genius, but this isnt right, not checked the cam timing yet, so that could be a possibility???? could it? I hope so! so everyone...am I looking at another engine rebuild (just had this one done 1700miles ago)

please help!

p.s. didnt disconnect the injectors so could fuel in the C/tester do this, also results on closed throttle

Engine hot, wide open throttle, injectors disconnected/disabled is the usual, so I think your results are invalid.

How many times did you turn the engine over?

Just disconect the crank sensor for no fuel.

I did mine the other day for fun and got 170psi on all 4, ej257/sti3 heads/na ej25 headgaskets/ 12000k's.

Have you got the right cams in the right heads? As in, could the cams for the left head be in the right head?

Something is very wrong, especially if I am to assume the engine has never run.
