So my car seems to use alot of oil, like a quart every 3 or 400 miles. I checked the compression, 125-130 on all eight, which doesnt seem bad. My number two plug gets fouled quite easily, was soaked with oil last time I checked it, all the other ones looked perfect. If I get on it hard, it smokes a bit. When coasting down a hill, it smokes ALOT when i get back on the gas. I'm thinking the valve seals are toast on number two, what do you guys think?

^^^^^^ +2 when you let off the engine experiences higher vacuum then cruising and that will pull oil threw weak valve seals.
It will still smoke on hard acceleration, thats why I thought it was rings at first.But i figured if I did have bad rings I would also have low compression on at least one cylinder, but 130 isn't exactly low. I might just find a low mileage explorer motor and throw it in, I hate doing valve seals.
