You may have an issue with compression. You first want all compression readings to be relatively equal, that is 3 compression reading from each chamber. If the bridgeport if excessive it my be effecting compression but unlikely, also if you can try to look at the apex seal either through the spark plug hole (may be difficult) or throught the exhaust port to see if the middle is blackened due to bypass, the apex seals may have warped in the middle. If this occurs you will have typically even but low compression. Also make sure the battery has good charge incase cranking speed was slow

the bridge is open into the compression stroke, so it will compression test at a lower #. the KEY and ONLY important thing is that the numbers between all 6 chambers are equal
