Glad that it was nothing obvious with the valve train. I agree the next step should be a compression test. Does your car have an oil pressure gauge that is reliable and if so, do you recall what it showed, hot idle and running at road speed? If the compression test shows everything normal, you might want to drop the oil pan and check the rod bearing clearances.
