Default 90 psi on FE290 what now?

I ordered and replaced all gaskets when my crank case was leaking. This included the head gasket. I torqued to 23 ftlbs in the correct order.

Now the compression is way low. Should I put in the old head gasket, or check valves, ...

Did you reset the Valve clearance? You have to set that after doing a head gasket. There can be difference in the thickness of the new gasket which will change the valve clearance and may make them not close all the way.
