I did a compression test today to try and find out what I need to do about my oil issue(I'm going through a bunch), initially I had hoped valve seals would solve the problem but they did not.
All cylinders read about the same at 140 with no big change between any of them, I have been told that my oil issue could be either valve guides or rings and of course guides will be less of a big deal since the motor won't have to be taken all apart and more problems found...
I am trying to interpret results so far, what will a leakdown test tell me?
I have a test kit but both of my compressors have decided to not work, so I gotta either fix one or get a new one in the next few days to use the tester.
The motor had a turbo on it, it's a XXX block that was machined by a shop in PA and it's got AFR 185 heads with a CHP stroker kit.
I also have the problem with coolant that appears to be coming out the head gasket on the passenger side, it is not going into the oil and oil is not going into the coolant.
I only see oil smoke when I drive the car then park and restart it again within the hour.
Any other tips to help me figure out if it's rings or guides for sure?
