If you have such parts it would be ideal to just be able to cite chapter and verse from the CARB manual. They all have it. They're lazy, but if you have page numbers, they actually might listen.

I wouldn't worry about those numbers at all.
Every single compression test is done differently. 140-130 across all 4 is pretty darn good. I wouldn't waste money on a rebuild.

I've had a few rotors get cracks going to the end of the rotor, but never that bad.

I'd argue that an oil line failing at 62k is based on a defect that occurred before 60k mi.
