89 corolla sr5

i did a compression check on my car, and 2 of the 3 spark blug chambers leak oil above the spark plug, so i came in with low expectations, and they were all suprisingly 155 except the 4th spark, a lot of oil fell into it when i tried to do the compression check, it went up to 180. Any suggestions what i should do? also im still getting under 200 gallons on my full tank after i replaces my fuel filter and airfilter, i changed the oil and filter 2 k miles ago.

ALso my exhaust pipe is all rusted on the sides and the muiffler has 4 or 5 rust holes.
any suggestions for anything will help,expecially mpg, ill take pictures shortly of my car

Can we get a rush on that Boro injection???? We're losing him!!!

Haha but seriously it might make more sense to just hunt for a good deal on a gts... you might end up spending the same amount of money fixing it, but you'll still be stuck with the 4af.

You're 4AF is fucked. Trust me, you don't have the money to make that thing move.. I put more money than sanity into my ae92 over all.. Heh, it's an engine swap now.

if ur compression increases after u put oil in the cylinders, it means ur rings are gone.

swapping the motor would be cheaper than rebuilding it....go for a swap

He wasn't even talking about valve seals he was talkin about the valve cover seals that go on the valve cover around the spark plug guides.. Sorry for bein a pain, Chris.. but every now and then I get so sick of this shit.
