Can anyone analyze my compression test?

[SilverBullet00]

Ok, After having a couple engine problems (like getting oil in my spark plug wells) I have finally done a compression test. Can anyone interpert my findings? Here are the results:
=Passanger side (no oil on spark plugs)=
front
160
175
170
180
back


=Driver Side (oil on spark plugs)=
front
137
169
145
160
back

help? lol

#5 and #7 are too low assuming that the compression test was done the same way for each cylinder. Tests should be within about 10% of each other.

Try a leakdown test on those cylinders to check for busted ring lands or a blown head gasket.

You MIGHT be ok, but those numbers look pretty suspicious to me.

That is rings or the cam followers not allowing the valves to close. If it was a headgasket usually a really low reading or really high from two cylinders compressing together.

The low cylinders show worn or damaged rings. It's not horrible #'s (trust me, I've seen much worse), but will impede on the power the engine makes. How many miles on the engine? Is it the stock one or is it a fresh new engine?
