Just did a compression check both dry and wet to see if rings are bad or not. The results were on cylinders 1-4 i got an average of 155 with the cylinder dry. With the cylinder wet with oil i got 170 as an average. Does 20 psi difference make your car burn oil as bad as mine does right now. Any help would be appreciated

20 psi is a moderate pressure gain, looks like you are in need of a rebuild!
