Its normal to have a little smoke, but to really tell if your rings are bad you need to do a leak down test
I thought so. I did a compression check on the cold motor a couple of weeks ago and thought is was low. I think you get a more accurat reading when the motor is warmed up
yes, its best to do a comp. test after you have warmed the engine up.
your comp. readings should be around 150-160ish or atleast and close to the same psi in each cyl
from what I remember it all cylinders were around 130 to 145 but on cold motor
150 for a new motor, warm, throttle open and disconnect both HEP connectors to disable the fuel and spark.
A leakdown test is a more accurate way to test motor condition and with a turbo motor, its worth it to have one.
You will get some smoke/pressure out of the filler cap but if your having issues blowing out the dipstick, then a leak down test is on order.
