Well, i warmed the motor up and got these numbers...

1- 160
2- 150
3- 150
4- 160

I decided to go ahead and drop a small cap-full of oil into the cylinders to see how that would affect the numbers. This is what i got..

1- 210
2- 220
3- 210
4- 240

I know the car should smoke for a little while to burn off the oil, but it is just smoking profusely and wont stop. I did the test to see if i had blown my headgasket, but now i'm worried about the rings What do you think?

BTW, the motor is a 9.5:1 compression b16

 

seems kinda low but they are all relatively the same......did it smoke before you dumped the oil down????

only a little, and very rarely....usually happened when i was deaccellerating

 

Thats what i was wondering, if he did the test because it was smoking, and you added a little oil and it got higher numbers, that generally points to worn rings. However, my bone stock 10.2:1 B16 only makes 180-185 all across, so a 9.5:1 at 160 psi sounds about right....
