Sasse, can a compression test show a cracked piston?

My 91' 9k Turbo has SQR software and a T28 turbo. Last year I blew the head gasket, and since then the engine is running rich, with a slightly rough idle. Lately, I am seeing smoke puffs from the dipstick tube, and the oil smells like gas. I did a compression test, and all 4 cylinders are 160 PSI. If there is a crack in a piston would the compression test have found it?
