well people can say everything to sell a car.

Check the compression
Do a leak down test
Check the PCV valve
 
pcv valve is new. whats a leak down test, and i did a compression test and it was wierd it show 100 across all cylinders nd held pressure i was told it should be between 160 and 180 but if i was realy that low i heard i wouldnt have any power

Looks like your rings are on a way out.the service limit is 124. so 100 psi across the board ,is way to low,and thats why you see the blue smoke comin out of the tailpipe
