i am going to re run the compression test wet/dry and leak down test all while its still warmed up. this will take me a while. Will post results asap thank for the help
Have to have ignition disabled and all plugs installed. Hold accelerator to floor instead of disabling fuel pump. If already disabled fuel pump ok. Some subscribe to holding WOT when doing compression test but fuel pump has to be off no matter disabled at relay or holding accelerator to floor it stops flow of fuel.

Being wrong doesn't bother me, it's being right and not understanding why that does

BTW it starts on the 3 rotation
The misfire monitor may be struggling because #1 and #8 are adjacent in the firing order. 1-8-7-2-6-5-4-3
But that doesn't really matter - the miss counts moved when you moved the plugs. If you're still proceeding with the compression test, I say swap all the plugs between banks. In other words, take all the bank one plugs and move them to bank two. Recheck your miss counts.

compression test results:
1# 178 DRY / 210 WET
2# 178 DRY / 188 WET
3# 178 DRY / 210 WET
4# 178 DRY / 190 WET
5# 180 DRY / 188 WET
6# 178 DRY / 192 WET
7# 180 DRY / 200 WET
8# 178 DRY / 190 WET
I did not notice any leak down on my compression gage, but i will do a leak down test in morning.
Yes, all plugs installed. You're checking for uniform compression.
The numbers look Ok. Do you still have fluid on the #8 plug after swapping plugs as suggested?
If oil, can be bad valve seal or intake gasket leak. Fuel could be leaking injector. I'd expect your fuel trims to be off on bank 2.
Did you get it fixed?
I have an 04 Tahoe Z71. It goes through a qt of oil about ever 3k miles. The #2 knock sensor is bad, 108 ohms so it goes off intermittently. Other than that it is a great SUV.

Sorry guys our internet went down during last storm. We will be back at it today. I agree I am thinking intake or valve seal. Leaning towards the seal as I am thinking it's oil on plug along with the smoking (very light blue / white). Do not seem to be loosing any coolant.
Well long story short we installed new valve guide seals (it was oil on plugs). Smoking stopped, misfire stopped and running ok for now. Cant scan at this point to reset code as laptop screen went bad LMAO Thanks to everyone for your help.
