There are some exceptions to that rule, though. You have to keep in mind that there are two functions that the rings serve: compression and scraping the oil off the cylinder walls. The bottom rings scrape and the first ring holds the compression, so you might have good compression but are burning a lot of oil and that is due to bad oil control rings, not compression rings, so the compression test will mean nothing to you.

I had perfect compression on mine, but I was going through a quart a week, so it wasn't the first ring, but rather the 4 underneath it.
Well, I know when I rev up my car smokes, but only on higher revs. And the exhaust smells, like sweet sour smeel. hahaha it burns my nostrols. IDK what that means, but it isnt like adry exhasut liek normal, it is like moist.
