96 Talon tsi compression / starting

[deadguy]

OK a friend of mine has a 96 talon tsi. The compression is odd. 1 2 and 4 are around 90 psi
3 is around 35. This car sat for a month. When I first checked it they were all around 30. I put a little oil in each plug hole and it brought those 3 up. What should they be? Also on the timing belt. I can't seem to get it to set on the t mark on the cover. Either it is slightly advanced ( like 1-3 degree's (guess) or at 5 btdc. Does that seem right?
<-- that does not mean DSM. that means Mitsubishi. I own a 97 Mitsubishi 3000 GT not a DSM.

Normal comp is 150+ so 90 means that motor is done for. Service limit (meaning when you should rebuild or discard) is around 110-120. Its time for your buddy to rebuild his engine

Damn he isnt gonna like that. Whats a good place to get a reasonable rebuild kit? Stock or slightly above?.
And thankyou for the response.
