okay i have a 91 eagle talon tsi fwd, it has a blown turbo and it smokes alot, also the #1 cylinder has no compression. i droped in some oil it when up to 50. the car runs great still... it just cuts out a little plus the smoking from the turbo. wondering if thats normal for the car to still run good? i just completed taking off the heads. All of the pistons and inner piston walls look really smooth ( cant tell any difference from the piston with 0 pressure to the others). I was wondering what kind of things to look for if the rings are bad? ezest way to change them? how do i tell if my valves are messed up?
more info
my head gasket was a 3 peice gasket i dont know who it was made by but it didnt look damaged. i have a new felpro gasket. the oil didnt look milky. it did over heat once but never in the red zone. coolant was boiling a little, but coolant looked clean as well. getting a new T stat.
i am a dsm fan and always have been dispite my dad and his "if its not a usa v8 its not worth anything" teachings im sure for someone who knows these cars the answers to my problems are ez but im still knew to working on cars in general let alone this nice little dsm.
if anyone has any ideas on the remedies for my problems and info on other potential problems it would be greatly appeciated
thanks
