But I don't have smoking problems, which I would attribute to oil rings.
I have lots of crank case pressure, blowing oil into the dizzy and carb.
Last time I checked after I had the problem, which was a while ago, I
had lower compression in #4. Adding oil raised it. That would indicate
a compression ring problem to me.
