Maybe it's the valve stem seals, or the seats that aren't up to scratch.
Anyone else have ideas about this one ?

Stuffed rings will cause this. As the compression stroke comes up on #3 and it fires, it will go past the rings, down to the sump, up the oil drain holes in the block and head and into the rocker cover. Try putting a squirt of oil down the spark plug hole and test the compression again. The oil will temporarily seal the leaky rings and the compression will come up a bit.
