snaitel; 100psi is not enough. The cylinders could be fuel washed. Take a 'wet' test by squirting a little oil in each cylinder, disable the fuel pump and the ignition, and crank the engine over a few times, then retake the compression test. I know that you said that you've double checked the timing marks, but just one tooth off can make a huge difference. Pretty sure that this is an 'interference' engine, meaning that if the belt broke at the wrong time or if installed incorrectly, valve damage can occur. Hopefully, this isn't the case, but.... If the engine turns out to be just fuel washed, be sure to change the oil and filter.
