either you get lucky and nothing happens, it stays airborne and finds its way out the tail pipe, or it finds its way between the piston and cylinder walls and makes you cry yourself to sleep that night.

Get some pics up! Was it running fine when you noticed the burning oil?

well need better pics of the plugs. Also id do a compression test while they are out, you can get a tester for $20 at harbor freight, vatozone, kragens, etc.

Compression check. It will tell you if something is wrong. It takes all of 20min and is the cheapest way to see if the motor itself needs further diagnosis or if it is an external issue (ie something not motor related, be it sensors, etc)

Should all be within 10%, ideally all within 5%. Anything above 150 I would consider good, anything over 180 is excellent.

if this ^^ is true, than im fuc#ed! or my compression tester sucks. im gonna try again but according to my tester, my compression is all over the map! cylinders 5-8 (passenger side) are from 140-155 and cylinders 1-4 (drivers side) is 80-115! WTF! ???

ouch.

on a healthy motor, your lowest cylinder should be within 10-15% of your highest cylinder. So if its 180 highest, lowest can be 155. of course, the less of a spread, the healthier and more efficient the motor is.

i think around 180psi is good. I have 180psi across on my passenger bank, and drivers bank is 135-155-165-175. Leakdown shows leaking through exhaust, which means i have some burnt exhaust valves on the drivers side.

Make sure you are doing the test on a warm motor (unless you dont want to run it), otherwise you cant really **** up a compression test, it either works or it doesnt. Next step is a leakdown test to see exactly what is causing low compression.

btw im pretty sure passenger bank is cylinders 1-4 starting from font to firewall, and drivers bank is 5-8 starting from front and ending at the firewall.
