Re: Compression good - plug fouling

Good vacuum is an indication of a healthy engine. Probably a broken ring, probably an oil ring. Look for wear on top of the valves, that would indicate a worn guide, but the solid vacuum really eliminates that. If you can find one, they used to sell "non-foulers" that are basically and extention for your sparkplug to keep it out of the oil. My recommendation drive the stew out of it till it dies. Oil consumption is not the death knell of an engine by no means
