#4 threads are covered in oil, probably just the valve cover gasket but worth noting I guess.
About to get a leak down now

Compression seems fine. I couldn't run a leakdown cause the harbor freight tool uses industrial style fittings and all my **** is "aro" style.
Cold Compression:
Warm Compression:
I re-timed the engine. I'm gonna get the right adapter for the leakdown and see what it says.

Yeah I think the compression is reasonable for my CR. And it's very even. Gives me a bit of hope.
Do any of the scope pics look like there's pitting? It's so hard to tell if it's pitting or just carbon build up. I guess my options are really just run it, or rebuild it. I still need to get the leakdown done today (gonna try to find the correct fittings at the homeless despot).

Numbers don't matter much, consistency does, his look consistent.
And besides that's an HF tester which is known to read notoriously low.
Just send it (run it)

OP :
I wouldnt worry about rebuilding the engine just run it. The pistons just look like its a lot of carbon buildup. Hard to tell if there is pitting in the pictures.
