Default Compression Test Results

Just ran a compression test and wasn't happy with the results:

Cylinder initial result after oiling cylinder
#1 150 160
#2 150 185
#3 160 175
#4 150 175
#5 150 170
#6 180 190
#7 165 180
#8 160 180

Looks like the bottom end went; rings at least.

Also pulled the filter and cut it open but I didn't find any obvious metal filings or chips. But I did notice that there was a silvery grey matter in the oil. Could this be worn metallic matter from the bearings?

When I cut the filter I didn't know exactly what to look for other than possible metal filings or chips.

Any help with the silvery grey matter will be greatly appreciated.

Tony
