No smoke coming out of the rocker cover. I did a compression test and got 150-120-125-150 sooooooo, I'm going to pick up a new headgasket tomorrow and start stripping the head down!

I don't think anyone is ignoring you.  I think we were just waiting to hear what you found when you took the cylinder head off. 

 

You can reset your valves and repeat the compression test, then repeat the test with a spoon full of oil down the bores to see how the numbers change.  You can also do the leak down test suggested earlier to see if you have leakage between 2 & 3.  With the symptoms you are reporting and the compression numbers I anticipate you will find the head gasket failed.
