Compression on my cylinders is 60psi on one side and 90 psi on the other. What should I do?

Then come up with a $100 and that motor to my house in charlotte and leave with a nice 78 with good compression ...

I have a better idea. You tell me what I need, I come to Charlotte(only about an hour from me) and you help a newbie get his motor running great. You feel good about a good deed and I feel good because my xs has a perfect running engine. WIN-WIN. How does that sound. Hehehe.
