Message So these were the results:

5: 163 6: 161
3: 161 4: 151
1: 170 2: 146
Front of car.

So Im a bit worried about 2 and 4 but the others are in good shape. No i'm pretty sure my engine has been rebuilt, previous owner said it he thought it was by the person he bought it from.

Now I tried putting oil in the low cylinders to see if the compression would go up. Well after putting in a bit of oil, maybe a spoonfull, the compression flew to 210, is that normal, should it go that high? So this means my seals are a bit worn right?

Also before removing plugs there was a bit of oil on top of 5,3, and 6 and after removing plugs there was oil on the threads too.

Finally I have been experiecing bad fuel mileage, and i sometimes smell gas in the cabin, i though it might be exhaust leak from manifolds. I checked under the hood no fuel leaks. Anyways now when i removed the balance tube i got a huge whiff of gas, looked into the plenum and it looked as if it was covered in gas, I didnt think this was normal, couldn't find anything in search, what does this mean?

If anyone can shed some light on anything it would be helpful, thanks.
