    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.
