I was finally able to do my compression test and here are the results.

Cylinder
1- 155 psi
2- 160 psi
3- 150 psi
4- 150 psi
5- 160 psi
6- 160 psi
7- 150 psi
8- 150 psi

The furthest values are within 6.5% of each other. I guess it's not my rings, each turn of the starter raised my compression reading considerably, so I'm not sure that it's a valve problem. However, I am certain the problem is in my top end, could be valve seals or valve guides. But, wouldn't seals and guides affect my compression? Any ideas?
