Re:Smoke and boost
The pouring of the oil in the valve seals doesn't really matter IMO. You figure that the oil from the valve cover area should be getting everywhere anyways, I don't see how pouring more would make a difference 
Pouring the oil in the firing chamber thru the spark plug hole is what I was getting at. That's strange that it jumped up that high. Tell me something;
When you first poured the oil and started the compression rotation did it creep up to 270 slowly or was it right there after a few cranks of that piston (compression stroke)? You did follow all the other specifics by that one article right?
From the current symptons it sounds like a weak ring already.
Anyone else care to share opinions?

Re:Smoke and boost
It what right there after the first 2 cranks.
1st crank was 260, 2nd 270 and it stayed there.
But my engine should not do 270psi, should it?
Realy weird! I hate not knowing whats wrong with my engine!

Re:Smoke and boost
How much oil did you exactly pour into the firing chamber? Sounds like you drowned it. It should have only required a couple squirts, I could see something really really high if you already had high compression and dabbed too much oil.
Try the experiment again with like half an ounce of oil. You only need enough to settle around the rings and re-create that seal that they are missing.

Re:Smoke and boost
I know, it's just a lot of work.. consider the cost of putting a court of oil in XXX amount of miles. As long as it's not getting much worse then hopefully he can ride with it until it's convenient for him to replace it.
Then again boost will only make things worse
