Hi All,  I need help diagnosing an oil burning problem. A couple a Weeks ago 
while feeling frisky, I reved the 4 a little to far, and now have massive 
smoke. I did a compression test with results as follows. Dry 1 - 130#, 2 - 
130#, 3 - 50#, 4 - 125#; Wet 1 - 130#, 2 - 130#, 3 - 55#, 4 - 130#. Readings 
would seem to indicate valves in number 3. Then discovered smoke is exiting via 
breathing tube, not exhaust. Would this be blow-by, indicating rings.
TIA, Mike
