Glad you got it running. Hopefully there will be some explanation for the compression values being a bit over the map.
With regards to valve cover leak, thats not too uncommon.
Do a search on this forum (914) for the various tricks to getting them to stop leaking. I had to remove my valve cover and scrape the hell out of the place on the valve cover where the gasket goes. Then I wire brushed it till it was spotless in that area. There was an accumulation of all sorts of gasket cement that finally made the surface anything but smooth. I am also told that the valve cover goes on the engine with the "VW" logo (thats on the exterior of the valve caover) upside down. Who knows! But thats the way I did it.
