However, since your readings are within spec there really is no need for wet compression test.
Rings, valve guides and valve seals will cause oil burning nothing to do with the condition of your engines bearings. You can easily upgrade to better heads and parts but in the end you still have a 100K+ mile shortblock. I would perform a leakdown test to see the real condition of the motor.
