The Riced Sleeper
So after the races with my boy on the type s, and cause I'm burning oil to fast and getting white smoke out the exhaust at 6000 rpm's and higher, I decided to do a compression test gotta wait 2 weaks to do the leak down as my boy who works in a shop that will do it for me for free is outta town. Anyways, here's what I did tell me if I did it wrong? Engine was at normal operating temp, removed fuel pump fuse, then removed plug from cylinder 4 screwed in compression gauge, buddy held gauge while I cranked from inside, cylinder 4 read 145psi. Replaced plug and wire, moved on to cylinder 3 and did the same thing. Cyl. 3 read 165, replaced and did other 2 cylinders the same way which all read 165psi.

Yeah, I'd say it's highly likely that you have a leaking head gasket. That leak-down test will tell you for sure, though.
I hope that's all and not any valves or rings gone bad
