    Compression check and valve guides

    I just recently ran a compression check on my car. cyl 1 & 3 gave me 175 and 2 & 4 gave me 195. number 2 cylinder when i pulled out the spark plug oil was dripping from it. since im not burning oil out of my exhaust i'm assuming its the valve guide. i plan on fixxing it but money is tite right now and im wondering how bad it would be to continue driving around with it in this condition. thanks for the help.

    Most likely just a bad spark plug tube seal. Here's a link that could help you out.....

      excellent compression numbers, can you give any info on miles and driving style?

        well i bought the car from my grandmother in june of 04. it had 177k on it. it now has 189k and i drive depending on my mood and if im late for work. most of the time i drive pretty chill but if im late for work or im in the mood for speed then i drive like a criminal fleeing a robbery.
