Glen, test compression with all plugs out and record. Add a bit of oil and test again - if the compression increases by more than 10psi you have a problem with compression leaking past the rings. If this is a rebuilt engine it may improve once the rings are properly seated. If it's an older engine the bores may be glazed allowing blow-by.
