Uneven compression on Nash's block

Mug and I have been building his car for exactly a year now. (90 TSi AWD, 2.4/GT3582/ALL Supporting Mods)

We are using Nash's 2.4 block (yeah, I know.....)

We broke it in tonight, 20 miles. Vacuum pulls

JET told us that Nash put 8.8:1 pistons in the block

the numbers are 185-165-165-185.

I had spark plug wires 1 & 4 crossed at the coils

On a new motor, how bad is it that excess gasoline was pooling in 1 & 4?

It makes sense that the rings seated really well with all that gasoline causing the rings to file themselves against the honing.

what do you think? am I stuck with un-even compression? or will it even out eventually.
