why did the heads come off in the first place? i have never seen a set of heads that were machined and then the motor didnt have compression because the pushrods were too long. you have another problem.
if you think its the pushrods just back off the rockers two turns and run the compression test again. if it comes back up to normal you have your problem. but like i said i doubt thats were your troubles are.

I wanna say they saved 7 off of one of the heads...
I'll try back off the rocker two turns, but it seems like that will allow them to flop around loosely then...

Heater hose blew, headgasket went, heads turned out to be warped, that's why the heads were machined...

Your backing off the rockers for simply a compression test. Do not drive like that, its just for process of elimination.
