I have only driven it once, from NY to MD. It seemed to not burn too much at all on the 5 hour ride, still has plenty of oil.

It seemed like as the engine warmed up, after about an hour of driving, hardly any smoke was visible while driving the car. When it was cold, it only clouded when accelerating.

Since the compression test was good can I rule out the head gasket? I would like to start work but don't want to disassemble the valve train to check the seals for nothing.

Thanks,
Jake
