i understand doing a comp test will tell you if you have low or high comp in the cylinders. but how does doing a comp test tell you if its rings or valve issues? i just had an engine swapped (do to blown rod) from a f22a6 to f22a1 but had them put in my a6 cam into the swapped engine (to keep it an a6). ive been noticing that the motor is needing oil every other day or so. head and valve cover gasket is new. i have no oil in the spark plug tubes so im assuming the seals and o-rings are in good shape. but sometimes when i put a lot of load to the engine it puffs a cloud of blue smoke.....any thoughts?

All it will tell you is somewhere you are leaking compression.It could be from the rings or your head gasket or your valves -
You do know when you do the test you have to unplug your injectors right?Comment

Just unplug your injectorsComment

I'm thinking the same thought. The engine I had swapped did have 130k on it... But I could be wrong. I just topped off the oil and no smoke?? I even redlined it. WTF??Originally posted by chorne1787 View PostRIP 4/23/12...lets not forget, the 88" Z31 turbo, are my dailys Comment

Location of that plug??? I tried following the wire harness to find it's source but it goes under im and then I lose it where it leads to.Originally posted by thepowderblue View PostRIP 4/23/12...lets not forget, the 88" Z31 turbo, are my dailys Comment
