What prompted the compression test in the first place was coolant boiling out of the reservoir after a 15 minute drive. Can't find any coolant leaks. Turbocharged engine, questionable tune, recently rebuilt engine (less than 500 miles).
Numbers for the engine, mildly warm (firewall to radiator):
135
75
125
150
150
150
Numbers for engine, mildly warm, with 1-2 tablespoons of oil:
150
125
155
150
150
150
Plugs all look good, none are fouled/carboned. Haven't noticed any smoke from the exhaust.
Now I know oil increasing the compression test numbers = bad rings. But I'm thinking maybe I put too much oil in the cylinders and the oil actually sealed a headgasket leak? But shouldn't headgasket leak mean two really low cylinders? Thoughts?
