Is water level falling? Any oil or bubbles in radiator? Has oil level increased? Is oil milky or khaki? Is there mayonnaise in the filler tube? Blocks porous through rust now a problem. Posts on old site about the topic with description of bore appearance. Hopefully not the cause! Water in oil is very wearing of roller bearings.
I am intrigued that so many trouble to take compression readings. Gauges came into general use when crank handles disappeared. With Sevens the handle suffices for most diagnosis (throttle open), although a gauge more clearlyy indicates non standard c.r. And by listening can detect serious blow by or valve leaks.
