What motor is this? Some are more persnickety than others. There are small block chevy engines in '60s pickup trucks, and then there are 2.0L turbo engines in modern cars.
Steve suggests diagnostic steps, and I agree. Yes, oil on rings helps seal them for testing. Heck, when you do a leakdown test, you can listen to the tail pipe (suggesting the air is leaking past valves) and listen to the crankcase/breather (suggesting air is getting past rings). You can pop new bearings, rings and valves in a motor.
Or just get another one. What motor is this?
