after my engine warms up it runs fine before I my idle isn't great but it has always been l
ike this. It doesn't smoke.
Also my engine doesn't really use any oil at all before my oil changes which is every 4 months or so (I don't drive too much but still). when I change my oil my oil is still at maximum.
i'm pretty sure compression is good because the engine makes good power.

You'll not tell much about the deposits from dropping the sump. You will be able to check the bearings and clean the sump though. I'd wait until you check a few other things properly first before you drop the sump

OP has his car FS on CL,
"Car is an 1985.5 944 with 15 inch fuchs. newere style interior. sport seats. tons of new parts with receipts. New clutch and low mile torque tube last year. new tires, brake rotors all 4/ pads, , plugs, wires.
timing belt new , rollers new, / water pump also replaced with brand new one. oil seals replaced. coolant hoses all replaced. new radiator. new motor mounts.
the reason i'm selling it cheap is because i'm buying a new bmw, can't afford 2 cars. Also car h29as a small dent in teh rear quarter panel behind the rear tire from me backing up and hitting the fender of another car in a parking lot. no rust though and I haven't bothered fixing the dent as it is not very noticable. "

thats a lot of $dosh you've spent on the car. Seems a shame you won't see the benefit of it if you sell the car.
Come on chum, don't give up now. You don't have a problem with the car at the moment.
If I were you I'd change the oil and filter then use some flushing oil . Flush the engine twice if it needs it. Then put another new filter in and some quality oil.
If there was anything wrong with any of your bearings you'd know about it, your engine would sound like a trashcan full of nuts and bolts
