actually if the plug was oily you MAY have a small oil leak from your valves. if you wanted to change your valve seals that would fix it. As for the compression is say go for it. Those numbers are a little bit higher than a ls that we boosted and made 282hp out of.

<<<ignorant at cars but trying to learn. how would i go about changing my valve seals. its not a bad leak in the least but i might as well fix it if its easy. you can post the instructions or just drop an email at sta1173@rcn.com or an AIM at billab2ong

if i were you and didnt have alot of experience with engines i would just leave it. I wont hurt any thing. How much oil does your car burn? If it doesnt even get low during your oil changes i wouldnt even worry.

Adding any amount of oil in between oil changes is too much...
Fix any and all problems before boosting.
