Posted by PowerEclipses, Apr-30-02 12:57 PM
Ok, well i have 143,000 miles and i did a compression test and got 150, 160, 156, 155 i know its sucks :( but is there anything that I could use to make it high i mean the engine runs good i have had no problems with it so far as long as i owned the car almost a year now what do you guys think? what about that Restore stuff they sell on TV does that work?

I used the restore and no more smoke. Your compression is good atleast they are within 10 pts. of each other.
