Take another look at your compression figures, you have 150psi on #6 and only 87psi on#2. That's quite a bit more than the accepted 10% varriance.

When you say you have the timing off by 5* at the crank pin, what does the timing mark at the cam show? Likely the cam/crank position are off just a tick which would give you low compression figures. The big question is, did you bend any valves having the cam/crank relationship off?
