RE: compression test results
I'd say everything looks fine. In fact, if you did the tests correctly, your chambers are sealing perfectly (valves and rings). This is actuallynot possible and I've never seen perfect numbers from dry to wet, but that's what you're reporting.
Normally the wet numbers will be a little higher across the board.
How did you do the wet test? Maybe you didn't get enough oil in there. Also, was this done hot or cold? Hot is best, but cold is more common since it's a little easier.

It doesnt make sense that cyl. 6 would loss compression during a wet test.I've never heard of that before.

RE: compression test results
blow by is very posible that one is the one that has a plug that always gets the carbon deposites on it. awaiting my oil catch can to see if the plug do it again... \
ps i know you can make one (catch can) but i just bought one for 20 buck so no biggy
