So I bought a gsx really cheap that had jumped time. So i finally decided to do a compression test on it (without cams in) and it read 34-126-32-30. Should I start looking for another motor? or should I just redo the bent valves?
 
If it jumped time and the valves are bent the valves wont close completely, but its hard to say since you do have SOME compression in those cylinders....I'd fix the valves or just bolt on a different head, test the compression once you get the head bolted back down and go from there.
