Arrow Blown motor or what?

I bought this motor a while back and while we were changing the clutch oil was coming out of the intake. We had already drained the oil and removed the oil pan, so what was the oil doing there? When we removed the spark plugs some of the pistons were wet on top. We decided to do a compression test. We are not able to do the test warm as recommended so the only way we have to check it is by tuning the motor over with the starter. Well here are the numbers, 1=55, 2=45, 3=40, 4=45, 5=85, 6=105, 7=125, and 8=150. Did I just buy a giant paperweight?

Wow, those compression numbers are telling a sad story...sounds like you bought a core.
