Compression Test Results

[jason1781]

My 86 CRX HF has lots of white smoke in the exhaust @3000+ rpm. I ran a compression test and here are my results.

 

Dry:

#1 - 210

#2 - 215

#3 - 215

#4 - 218

 

Wet:

#1 - 215

#2 - 220

#3 - 215

#4 - 222

 

Anyone have any ideas of what the problem may be?

White smoke would seem to indicate coolant. Headgasket maybe?

white smoke means oil. compression piston rings may need to be replaced.

im pretty sure blue smoke means oil.

white smoke would mean steam, a coolant leak.

It does. We've already proven he's a quasi-idiot anyway.

lol @ replacing compression rings after doing a compression test with GOOD results.

+1 lol

 

white smoke = coolant

 

try taking off your radiator cap and start your car, see if it bubbles out.
