What were the results of the compression test? I see it's still over-heating. Is it likely a head gasket

That's a little low, should be at least 160.

Re: Toms GTS
In bgb it says 123 minimum, while 160 was a perfect test outcome. I think as long as the cylinders are within 5% of each other it is acceptable.
