Hey guys,

Short story, the car I bought has gone from a 10 a day smoker to a couple of packs a day smoker. The last run was for around 100 miles and burnt over a quart of oil. There isn't any real obvious smoke on start up, its when you hit the road there is a fair whack of blue smoke coming out the exhaust. Enough to piss of other drivers and the police.

I did a compression test today and got 6 cylinders at 60 psi and 2 cylinders at 85/90 psi. I did realise after putting everything back together that I hadn't held the throttle wide open.

Car runs like a top otherwise. EVERYTHING has been reconditioned on this car asides the engine.

In my opinion it's pointing to rings. Am I right?

Totally new to old cars.
