Was that dry or wet?
Either way those figures are low. Think mine was around the 140psi mark on all 4 cylinders.
Anything more than a 10% difference on 1 or more cylinder is bad news.
Definitely head off time and inspect. Take the head for a pressure test and skim.

Could be headgasket.
I've known these Skip a tooth on the cambelt and bend valves too...

One of my mates put his cambelt back right and started up and drove on no problem...
