I would start by doing the compression test again. 210 is a high reading.

Ayuh,... What Motor,..?? 4.3l maybe,..??

How about some history,..??

Btw,... I'd try a different compression tester...
210psi is Not normal, unless the cylinder is nearly full of water or something...
#3, 'n #5 might have a bad exhaust manifold, allowing water in, which may have rusted things up...

How long has it been setting? Does the engine run???
If so, start it for a few minutes then do another compression test.
Follow these instructions when doing the compression test.
