Update on 2.0l 8V Swap

[pellom@YorkU.CA (Sal Guzzo)]

Well, I'm glad to communicate that the motor is finally running.   A big
thanks to everyone who provided me with very helpful pointers.

Now on to the bad news.  The motor is blown.  Well, I did a compression test
today after white smoke came pouring out of the tailpipe and oil poured out
of the air filter box and came up with the following results.

Cylinder 1: 210 PSI
Cylinder 2: 185 PSI
Cylinder 3: 30 PSI (if that)
Cylinder 4: 200 PSI

What do these numbers tell me?  I'm SOL arent' I?

Is there a way I can determine if it's the valves or the pistons?  I don't
think that the headgasket is shot although if I have to pull the head, it
seems like I'll need to replace that anyways.

Any other suggestions?
