When i did my headgasket on the m50, i had everything nice and lined up, but in the end, when you torque down the tensioners, it throws cam timing off a smidge, id invest in borrowing or buying cam locking tools.

From the compression results though, i still stick with the possibility of headgasket. The same happened to mine. Most headgasket jobs ive seen with the m4 and m5 series engines usually blown the two center cylinders. 170 isnt bad, but 190 and 180 kinda make it look bad...to me at least.
