Default low compression

cylinder
1:65psi
2:180psi
3:180psi
4:160psi

application: 94 accord H22A swap, turboed stock internals ran it maybe 10 miles, never boosted past 1 psi.

no antifreeze in the oil, no oil in the antifreeze

possible over rev


2 weeks before i put the turbo kit on i was driving on the highway getting on the on ramp, i got a phone call, while i was about to shift so i left it in neutral, without thinking i put it in 3rd instead of 5th (stupid mistake) as i was letting the clutch out it grabbed and i watched my tach hit 8.5 ish, luckily i didnt let the clutch all the way out. drove it about another 100 no proformance issues.



i was driving after it got boosted, i pulled into my drive way, it sounded weird like it was missing, yesterday i started it and it sounded normal, i forgot to put my breather back on the breather port on the valve cover, it drove fine, i decided to be a moron and actually get on it, i hit the rev limiter in 2nd got back to my house and found oil all over my firewall and the passenger side of the engine bay and quite a bit of smoke coming out of my breather port, smells like exhaust not oil.

no antifreeze in the oil, no oil in the antifreeze

i checked autozone, shucks, napa and a local auto parts store and only the local store knew what a leak down tester was, so i have no access to one. (i do have a compression tester that i could hook up to my compressor but i have no air regulator to see how much leaks, but i could use it to hear where its leaking from i suppose.

any ideas would help.
