Unfortunately my long-time trusted mechanic in Brampton sold his shop - I now go to a shop at Martin Grove / Rexdale and frankly they are fantastic - in fact one of our SVT-owning members works there. The owner is an amazing diagnostician.

Seems like you have 2 weak cylinders, but the mild improvement in compression after adding oil suggests it my not be the rings, but maybe valve related. A leak down test is something I would consider trying next.
