my 72 just started smoking like a 2 stroke! It has about 20k miles on it and mainly smokes from the right cylinder (and of course uses oil).
I've done a compression check and get 146 to 148 on each cylinder.... and nearly identically across both.
Is there a kind of rule-of-thumb on how to determine if its rings or guides? my logic was, that if it was rings, the compression would be down and likely unbalanced?
and that leaky valve guide would not affect the compression?
