Update...
Just did compression test.. WHEW everything is ok.. cyl 6 is what i was worried about, and the numbers are great.
cyl1: 241
cyl2: 243
cyl3: 244
cyl4: 243
cyl5: 243
cyl6:244

SOO I guess the guy i bought the motor from wasnt lying.. it looks like it actually has 61k on it!

so its looking like it is the valve cover gasket and spark plug gaskets... I DID notice some oil around one of the gaskets soooo thats prob the issue :up:

What a relief lol
