If this compression test is accurate you have some serious issues, you shouldn't have more then 20 psi difference between cylinders. Get a leak down test to see where the issue is coming from perhaps you have some bent valves or worse it may have issues with the block. What's the mileage on the motor?

Your throttle cable looks too tight, usually they hang pretty limp with throttle closed (look for the diy on this).
Hard to tell, but your serpentine belt may be in need of replacement (have a look at the indicator, look for diy it shows you what to look for).
As far as the internals go, I don't know, it's almost like you're asking a doctor to diagnose hemorrhoids by having them look at your tonsils... But Bilman may see something.
As for revving your car... If you change gears at such low revs, then I bet you'll find yourself lugging the engine from time to time. This is much worse than hitting the red line on a well warmed up engine.

So you went from 210 to 160-170??? Dude you need to take it to a reputable place/person. My car is 16 years old and I am at 240 across the board. I recently checked out a 00 s2k that I was going to purchase as a daily with 23x,xxxmiles and all were around 210-220 with the exception of one that had a cross threaded spark plug so I wasn't able to get my gauge to hook up. And that thing had all kinds of oil leaks and small little things that needed repair. Pm me if you'd like some help..

Update
Hey everyone I had just recently bought a 2000 ap1 s2000 it felt kind of week so I took the car to mid valley auto repair to have them check out the car they told me I needed a valve adjustment so I got a valve adjustment done by mid valley auto repair they told me that the head look like I had "the kiss of death" the oil was dark they told me I had engine blow by and we did a compression test cylinder 1 was 180 cylinder 2 was 210 cylinder 3 was 140 and cylinder 4 was 210 I'm not too worried about the power lost because the car still drives really smoothly I'm more worried about the health of my engine should I be worried? Will my engine last me? I am new to this forum and this is my second car my first car was an mr2 turbo
