Default Compression Test results.

My car is smoking in high rpm. I thought it might be my rings. compression test results came out 170 across all 4. Is that stock? bad? too low?

More info on the car is needed.

What yr/model/engine & how many miles.

Usually what you're looking for is even numbers across the board - which is what you have. Your compression test #'s may change over the years due to carbon build-up, so the fact that then numbers match indicate 'even wear' internally.

My '96 B18b1 (130k miles) read 205 across all 4 last time i tested it and my '92 B18a1 (140k) was around 190.

in high rpms could be carbon build up, or in need of a valve adjustment, bnet a valve (usually get low compression as well, but not always). Those numbers are finr for your rings though

if it smoking then i guess it burning oil right?
compression numbers dont mean anything when it comes to buring oil. thouse numbers are fine. my old b16 was 160 across all 4 cylinders. as long as they are all the same thats all that matters.
but if it smocking it could be either the oil rings or the valve guilds

It could be leaky valve seals.
