So I'm curious about compression. My 71 383 is all original. Has 104k miles on it. When I bought car the motor was seized. I put ever lube know to man into the cylinders. Working the crank for months till it broke free. I had the heads redone. New lifters. Car runs great. My compression is only 110 on all cylinders. The question I have is. Shouldn't the car smoke? Is it possible to have low compression and have no smoke coming from exhaust. I would assume that the rings that are allowing compression to pass would allow oil. Just curious. Probably will rebuild motor soon anyway
