Have u checked the injectors? Bad compression can be caused by a bad injector bleeding the pressure.... Just an idea

My motor was replaced recently after only 76,000. I threw countless sensors, replaced all plugs, injectors, coils, tried custom tunes, etc.. tracking down a hard misfire and strange noise under a load. Ultimately I took it to the dealer and there was metal in the oil pan and 11psi less op at the head. Thrust bearing shot. New Engine.

Where did they get the low oil pressure reading from oil pressure sensor port or elsewhere? Did you have a low oil pressure warning?
