Default Piston rings gone?

My buddy has a turbo integra, and at idle, it blows oil out of teh breather on teh valve cover. he checked compression and #1 was 90psi #2 165psi #3 170psi #4 85psi. BUT, the car still feel like it has all the power it had before it started smoking. We did the compression test with teh dist. and injtecors in, i wa stold to get 100% accurate readings to take teh dist. off and the injectors. Anyway, does it sound like the rings are gone, even though it stil has just as much power?

Dam right it's time for a rebuild or just keep beating on it and see what happens. Cylinders 1 and 4 Ringlands are fucked.

Sounds like piston rings are gone. The longer u drive it, the more chances of tearing things up.

That would my guess also. You need a good stand alone to control fuel management problems.
