Default please helpppppppppp smoke at start up new motor someone be my hero !!!!

ok whoever helps me the best will be my new dad. here goes

when i start up the motor after its been sitting for a while i get a puff of white/blue smoke so i know its oil. the motor currently has 100 miles on the new build. the pistons were put in dry and the rings were not gapped but the rings and pistons came as a set and were brand new.

lsvtec motor with 81.5 mm srp pistonsand b16a1 head motor was bored and honed.

we had the spark plug wires in the wrong spots when we first started the motor and we were flooding some of the piston tops with little lakes of gas we fixed that problem and the car was only started once or twice like that. after we got it good to go the car was warmed up several times the oil was changed.

with the new oil in when i take off the oil cap i can small gas. the head was leaking coolant around the headgasket so i pulled the head off and get a better resurface cause the old one sucked and i dont think it was torqued down right.

i replaced the valve seals and the valve guides checked out to be ok.

when the head was taken off there was a little oil pouring out of the number 3 runner and when the intake manifold was taken off the gasket had some oil soaked in it.

on top of the number 4 piston it looks like it has the least amount of carbon build up and it looks the cleanest.

what could it be ? do i need to replace the rings and gap them ???

when we did a compression test after the car had been sitting for like 30 minutes the numbers were all very close and right bellow 200

You shouldn't be able to smell fuel in your oil. A compression test also won't show the condition of your oil rings, as their function isnt to hold compression like the two others.

well after putting it all back together the car feels much better but the compression on #2 was about 185 while all the others were 200+ and the leak down test showed that everything was good except in #2 it had around 4% leakage
