My motor is dying :(...

So, smoke come out of the engine bay the other day, and i just check the compression now and it doesnt look good at all. 195 195 195 115. could it be the ring/ring land. the car drive fine but the compression is **** up.

well...i probably dont know more than you do...but from what i have been reading on FI, its probably your ring lands. you said it ran fine...and if it was ur HG, then u woulda had over heating problems. leak down test is next i guess. sorry bout the compression. i know how it feels to have a boosted car. ur always expecting something bad is going to happen..and it causes massive paranoia. good luck

it may be valve seals. but just do a leak down. signs of ringlands is your breather should be drentched in oil.

My breather is always drenched in oil... and my compression is perfect...

Just thought i'd mention that. Now running a greddy catch can setup, though.
