Low compression
Low compression on one cylinder 170 170 170 and 60 on #4 also have some small sings of oil in the colent thinking its the head gasket or should I be worried about something else ?
You have 30% of the compression in one cylinder as the rest and oil in the coolant. Either your head gasket is toast or your oil cooler and a valve both went at the same time, and you know occham's razor...
I was going to ask that but it seemed like something that would be too important not to include. OP, if your car did overheat or runs warmer than it should, pop off the radiator cap and let it idle. If you see bubbles or air in the coolant, you have your answer.

I would give creedance to this theory as all of my intake valves were a little tight and my compression went up twenty pounds in each cylinder, but for there to be such a huge discrepancy in compression would have to mean either a bungled valve adjustment or there is a dangerously loose adjustment nut on that rocker arm. It would also not explain the oil in the coolant.
