compression problems
Heres my comp readings
#1-160
#2-150
#3-140
#4-130
#5-135
#6-150
#7-120
#8-75
I wish some of these were higher but heck
Question is about 7 and 8. Why are they so low? What can I check to find out why they are. Since they're next to each other I thought it might be a head gasket but Im not getting no oil in my water or anything. Another thing Im getting oil burnig smoke out the driver side pipe. But I think this is a bad intake seal but could this be why instead? ANy help is appreciated.

Try putting a teaspoon of oil in the spark plug hole and redo the compression test. If it tests higher then it is your rings. If the results do not change very much cances are a valve is not seating.
