Just did a compression test

I'm not sure what N/T compression figures should be, but in any engine they are supposed to be within 5-10psi of each other, preferably 5. As for the smoke, white smoke means burning water/coolant. Check your oil for coolant and your coolant for oil.

no its 20%... those look just over the"id start to worry" limits. You say your blowing white? If you are at all temps then your burning coolant and the only reason your compression is up like that is because of carbon deposits. Do a cylinderleakdown test and see how long it take to leak pressure....
