i can almost bet its oil smoke. Lots of times it will look white, but actualy has a bluish tint. I've blown headgaskets before and never noticed compression loss. Also if you had a blown headgasket it would probably be 2 adjacent cylinders with low psi.

Yeah I've never seen an engine loose compression with a blown headgasket either.

Im at 190-195 with a 8.8:1. The problem could be anything, do a leakdown test to better determine whats going on.
