Default Valve seals

So I pulled the valve covers off earlier and ran a wire down the returns to make sure they were clear. Couldn't really tell if they were stopped up or not. Still smoking as if now. Going to do a compression test fri and hopefully rule out the rings. Will keep you posted. Thanks for the help guys. Hope to get this figured out!

Those numbers seem pretty low, I think you should at least be around 195 but I could be wrong but Ill let someone else chime in.
