does it run?

if not, than your rear rotor is blown

if it runs fine, you might have done the test wrong...

also, you really only need to put the compression tester in the leading holes. both the leading and the trailing both go to the same combustion chamber.

what are the measurements for each face of each rotor, taken from the trailing plug hole?

The numbers you have provided indicate that the engine is blown. If it starts and runs on both rotors then the test was faulty,
