ok, so I started up the car, it was probably cold, but not too much since I ran it only about an hour and a half ago.

took the oil cap off, no change in idle what so ever.

I will try doing the same thing when the car is warm.

My compression guage was a cheepo 25 dolla auto zone guage that fucked up on me, sucker is stuck at 60psi. (probably me forgeting to let the pressure out for a whole day)

Ill take a gander in changing the valve guide seals.

but remember this, I saw this head in action only a few days before and the sucker didnt smoke at all. and I took to redline over and over agian.
