Why dont you test the actual pressure in the crank case........................ you might be supprised
My car has 145k on it gets a bit of oil in the TB, most is carried by fuel in the oil as it evaporates

your not burning oil
your car runs fine
Whats the problem?

Well well well, what do you know.





Compression tester from ebay is faulty 

Gets to about 50 psi and just gives up. My guess is that the crappy adapter for the smaller spark plugs is leaking, as it looks pretty sh!t quality 

Have sent the seller a message asking for a replacement for a working one or a refund. So for now, all on hold.

Car runs a bit flat, seems to lack some power. For now it's OK, but I will re-do the test when I've got a working tester.

It is a long shot but your saying it lacks power etc, maybe you have a sticking valve.

mmmmmm don't know, but it's not lacking too much power. Still quick, just not AS quick

Did you do the original compression test yourself?
