RE: WTF IS WRONG WITH MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

yesterday I did a compression test. Numbers are as follows... 1cyl=135 2cyl=30 3cyl=120 4cyl=135 5cyl=150 6cyl=120 7cyl=125 8cyl=120. So I'm guessing the smoke is coming from the 3rd cylinder obviously...does anyone know with that little of compression is that definitly rings or could it still possibly be seals/guides??

RE: WTF IS WRONG WITH MY CAR!!!!!!!!!!!

most likely ur burning oil cuz the rings are bad but i am supprised to see this with only 100k on the car.

if u have no money then sell the car for wat u can get.

Could be a head gasket. If a tablespoon of oil added into the cylinder raises the copmpression significantly then it's rings. Mark
PS: Might as well try it as it won't cost anything and will tell you if it is rings or gasket.
