some ?'s about compression results..
 

visited the track last night and friends noticed some blue smoke from exhaust during burnout and through 1st/2nd gear. when i got home there was tons of smoke from the exhaust and also noticed a good amount of oil from the valve cover breather,enough oil that it started to run down the tranny. then figured some rings were broken, did a comp. test today and here are the results... d16y8
#4---210
#3---180
#2---180
#1---155

would these results still point to broken rings? also my new oil return had a very slight upward slope which may of caused the blue smoke but not the oil from the breather, thanks for any suggestions or comments..

Really, those numbers are kind of high for a D, but my guess would be cylinder #1 is pooped. I think you can fill it up with oil though or something? :-\ Dude, I don't know though for sure. Wait for someone with expierence rather than hearsay. :y

anybody with some knowledge?

210 psi is about 10:1 C/R ish, 155 dose seem low for a y8 dose it smoke a lot or blow oil out the valve cover breather?

first if i were you id run a compression test again, but put a teaspoon of oil in #1, if it goes up to 180+ theres your problem(bad ring) but if it stays the same i would look at getting a oil catch can to release some positve charge from the bottom side of the crank, or take a look at maybe a bad valve seal or something it can be lots, just start from the compression test and work your way down.
