1 = 87 psi
2 = 87 psi

All plug leads seated correct? It could be one has come of, this could explain the petrol smell and the shaking of the engine and loss of power etc as it would be running on three cylinders Check everything in this area.
Your compression readings are a little low but even which is important you would also need to have the throttle open when doing a compression test to get the correct reading.

You must do a compression test with your foot flat to the floor on the throttle otherwise the butterfly in the throttle body will stop air filling the cylinder
