Have you checked valve clearances before you carried out the compression test!

LLoyd Heslop motors between stoke and Richmond. Very good guys. Specialise in Diesel trucks
seeing this was an older motor when we put it in.History of it was that it was removed from a truck which was being scrapped.Had noticed a falling of in power and smoking more in last 6 months.Had replaced fuel filter.made no diff.in last 2 wks excessive smoke until it warmed up,and was actually going to take it in 2 mechanics next day but broke down night before .As for valve clearances some excessive play in rockers.This is when we did pressure test.Will check out loyd heslops.I would say motor is well overdue for a [medical overhaul].
