There seems to be pressure build up in the exhaust stroke, could this be it ?
Also, why do my graphing looks like that ? is it some settings im not choosing properly or is it due to the capabilities of my scope?

The pressure waveform issue looks to be with your sensor - if you are using a home made sensor on a traditional compression kit have you removed the schraeder valve from the tube ?
For example this is a 2204A with a home made sensor. - extra channel is just an inverted maths channel for the coil.

There doesn´t seem to be any pressure build up, but again this is just cranking, in my running waveform there is something going on that is very consistent with the exhaust stroke, i just dont know if it could be enough to cause this... I am fairly new with this tools but have already used my current setup to succesfully identify timing issues.

I have quite a few and never had any issues like yours. Not an amp clamp it's a secondary ignition pick up, Hantek do a good value one.

The way your waveforms are they do not have diagnostic value, it is impossible to conclude problems from them regarding the exhaust stroke (or valve opening, sealing etc.).
A lot of the e-bay sensors are not up to the task, even when they specify an update rate of ≤1ms. They don't comply.

You're saying the banks are flip flopping in trims? What triggers the flip? Is it going into and out of open loop or something?trims go always in the opposite direction between banks, it maxes out at +/-25 then begin to rise / fall in the opposite direction of each other.
