I asked this to help without having to remove front cover again. Tooth mis-alignment will affect compression.
70# is high. I think too high for a stock engine/cylinder head.
Is there a chance that the crank was turned while the original gear was off, before the new one was put on ?
There were some gears quite awhile ago with the dimple in the wrong position.
Try removing the sparklers and confirm TDC in #1 with the dimple in place. You see feel the piston top with a piece of wire stuck in the hole at an angle. Just be sure to not feel a valve moving instead.[ that has happened]
