So i talked to some guys a week or 2 ago about my piston rings and doing a compression test. Well i did the compression test, the numbers were consistant. 180 psi for the first 2 cylinders and 183 for the 3rd and 185 for the 4th cylinder. Now, since all that is good, it means my piston rings arent fried correct? And i just thaught of another reason, i hallowed out my cat, its got a very small exhaust leak and thats when i smell the oil, and i drive my car pretty hard, do u think this may be why i go through oil a little more than normal?
