I thought it was prob the rings but when I did a compression test it had between 155-165 psi on all 8cyl. so that's what what was weird. I would think one cyl @ least would have lower psi than the others or all of them would be lower psi than a 160psi average (from what I've heard, 160 is pretty good).
