96 Geo Metro LSi 187000

Hi forum members. I have a 96 Metro 1.3 w/auto. It's got 187,000 on the odometer and these are the dry compression readings for cylinders 1,2,3 & 4 - 96, 94, 110 and 115. I didn't do a wet because the numbers were so low. I believe my next step is a head pull and rebuild, but I want to make sure before I get started. It starts up and will run but, when I try to accelerate it cuts off. :hmm Appreciate the advice.

thanks Eric

Once a cylinder gets below 100 PSI they quit firing and begin the missfire. I suspect burnt valves. Is the check engine light on also?

The check engine light is not on - I do get an intermittent engine service needed light. Also sent you a complete picture of my rebuild so far. Thanks Eric
