Default Compression readings...

I got 170 in all except 6...only got 150-ish
The plug looks like crap too, actually number 5 and 6 look like crap.

I'm going thru a little oil and coolant too. Head gasket? or am I dreaming...just not wanting to believe its a ring?

Slight miss started Friday afternoon that caused me to start looking around for trouble. Anyway, think I'm going to pull the head and have it checked out (TFS TW and I guess you can't magna flux aluminum)
I know the guides are good and stem seals have been changed twice...
thanks...
