Compression Readings

$

After a recent blow by concern (air blowing oil cap out) and which it suddenly stopped doing. I decided to do a compression check. I ended up with 210 psi on the rear and 195 psi on the front cylinder. I put a little oil in the plug holes and tested again, both rose significantly but there was still about the same difference in the numbers. The front cylinder also seems to have more rocker noise. It also seems to miss a little unlike before especially before complete warm up. Do I need to take it all apart and check or can I be comfortable running it this way? I posted a thread a couple days ago and theres more details about the blow by there. Thanks for any help!
