Default Re: compression

For a stock engine, your compression readings are in the ball park.

What is the history of the engine. Has it not been run for a long time or?

If the engine has not been run for a long time, the smoking may subside after it is driven a while. Also some MMO is a good idea.

What color is the smoke? Black is rich mixture, gray or blue is usually oil smoke and white may be water vapor which may be a leaking head gasket.

What weight oil are you using?

Let us know more about the situation and we may be able to make some good suggestions.
