Default RE: Engine now has far too much compression. Why?

Another thing: until your engine is fully boken in, ALWAYS preheat it with a heat gun or hair dryer to loosen that pinch. Otherwise, you will put unduie stresses on the piston, pins, and conrod. You will also cause undue wearing of the sleeve and take away from its longevity.
