Sounds like piston rings if the numbers came up that much with the oil.

Ive got some stock pistons from a 92. But you may just need a ring set, not entire pistons. Put some oil in the cylinders and retry the compression test.

lol, turning to the darkside. I would just add oil and turn up the boost before doing that (kidding)
you could just go with a good GE longblock. maybe just buy a whole sc300 that needs some body work.
