What are your driving habits? 87k, I've got about 2.5x more miles than you on the same car. If you're only driving it 5-6k/yr then you could have serious carbon buildup on the valves. The seafoam should have cleaned it up, but driving it hot will work better. Do the italian tune-up like Klaus recommended, then try compression again. It should be better warm too, why was the battery dead?
