120psi isnt THAT bad... If everything else is in good shape, the motor could run for another 30,000- who knows? Its a guessing game at this point, but the problem should only gradually get worse (assuming the loss of compression is due to rings). It shouldnt just blow up on you.
And $1250 is a ridiculous price to pay for a KADE. I mean, sure its nice to have a brand new engine, but for that kind of money you could get a used longblock, built/rebuild it yourself, and have a better motor for the same money. If all youre looking for is a stock replacement KA, get a used one off the forums from someone that seems legit. I'll be selling my 94k mile KA thats very healthy in a few weeks, and probably wont be looking for more than $300 for it.
