Any coolant in the oil? Sounds to me like you've over heated it 1 too many times and blown the head gasket. Compression accross the board is way below normal....sould be +170psi. Perfom a leakdown test but be prepared to pull the head and inspect.

Your heater core might be clog...connect the inlet n outlet heater hose together to test your problem
