Point being, it may not be such an issue. Let them measure the clearances between the lobes and lifters, if they are within spec I would imagine there should be no issue.

Thanks.
I will report back when I have heard from the engine shop, most likely midweek..
I know that dark deposits can happen when oil gets a bit old, but this car has had oil changes every 6-8k miles since it was brand new and they are only present on the cylinders that had bad compression leading me to believe that this has been caused by an issue..
