do a leak down test...

are you losing coolant?

some water out the tail pipe is fine, but not if it smells like coolant

your compression numbers are fine.

your compression is border line.....bare min needed for combustion is 100 psi, do you notice a loss of coolant,??? I'd monitor coolant level and if you have a pressure tester pump the system up and look for leaks or a drop on the gauge and pull plugs on that side and if pressure on gauge drops and no external leaks are visible see id the cyl's fill with coolant.
