Default Too much smoke

If I lost compression I would lose power. I havent lost alot of power though. Its right near my finger tip, It doesnt jump up out of its tired, but it will take off.

Stunned.... :/

Default Too much smoke

There could be a crack from the cooling system into the crank area or by the intake area, where there is a vacume (and thus drawn up into the combustion chamber). This would not cause a lack of compression. Most shops have a tester that attaches to the radiator (after removing the radiatoe cap) that pressurizes the cooling system (with the engine turned off). The tester pressurizes the cooling system, and if the pressure drops, then there is a leak in the system (crack).

What color is the center ceramic portion of the plug?

If you can see it, what does the top of the piston look like (color)?
