Default Low compression

Hello, been a while since ive posted on here,
Just bought a new rs and with a week of owning, the thermostat got stuck and popped the headgasket, so toook it all apart head skimmed, new bolts n headgasket, (all done correctly) and i done a compression test, startimg from the cambelt end, im getting 9 bar, 10 bar, 10 bar and 11 bar, seemed abit of a drop to me and headgasket had gone again, so took it all apart bought a new head and put back together, headgasket is all good, (so far) but still got same compression, it smokes a little to, so im wondering if its rings gone? Or something else? Ive changed valve stems aswell,
Sorry for long post and any help would be great, thanks bill
