Looks like you have 2 cyls w exh valves that aren't opening properly, 1 that leaks just a little bit prolly not enough to worry about, and 5 that are working more or less OK.

Wiped cam lobes will increase cranking pressure. U should see noticeable change in lift on those cylinders w/higher compression. Often u can see this with a straight edge or small machinist rule.
