Check your PCV valve but I think you've blown some rings at the very least. You should probably pull your head and evaluate the damage.

bb6guy

you dont think it would be the head gasket or the valve seals?

Those numbers are way beyond the service limit. Ideally, there shouldn't be more than a ~10% variance between cylinders. I don't have my helms handy so I can't give you the exact limits, but your motor is not even close to healthy.

Excessive smoke emitting from the valve cover and dipstick hole is usually blowby. Could be Rings or Valve stem seals, which would explain the low compression numbers. Run the compression check again, this time put a bit of oil into each combustion chamber, though the spark plug tube, before attaching the compression gauge. Did the numbers improve at all?

Milkyish colored oil means that coolant is getting inside the crankcase somewhere. Drain the oil out of the pan and check for coolant. Look for black specs in the radiator filler neck. These symptoms indicate a headgasket failure.

At this point, I think a leakdown check is in order. Without opening up the motor, its the only way to get an answer. Regardless of what the results of that are, you are still looking at a teardown to remedy any of these issues.

Probably time for a rebuild.

with those number's i would definately pull the head off...if it was your headgasket, your car would have overheated at that rate

Yeah, it sucks but you'll def. have a rebuild on your hands. Make sure you get a good tune on that turbo when you get everything back together.

Yea sounds like its a blown headgasket, and some other issues! Your better off building it.

Honestly it sounds like everything is shot.

thanks for the input guys. i was hoping it wasnt the rings. but oh well...

i think im going to either Rebuild. IE; piston rings and bearings, stem seals and gaskets. or buy someone sleeved block on HT marketplace.

it really sounds like rings to me

you must not have had it tuned right for your boost levels, and either cracked your rings or pistons, or you flat out burned the rings out...

this is why proper tuning and maintenance is a MUST for boosted cars.. i have seen SOOOO many people do this same thing in DSM's allllll day... too much boost, no supporting mods, shitty tune, broken pistons/rings

time for a rebuild.. that sucks..

^^ You have cracked ringlands. The little nipple blowing off on the valve cover is a sure sign of cracked ringlands. Its not a blown headgasket. GL on your rebuild.
