my friends buick is weird...

we check the compression on all the cylinders and there around 60PSI... the haynes book says a minimum of 100PSI on each cylinder...

the tachometer says at 1000rpm its around 60... at about 2000rpm its around 80-85 and about 3000rpm its at 100-105...

now i know that 3000rpm in drive is too high... but he also needs the psi... i guess to move the car...

what should i tell him besides get a new car ?

also check the water and look for oil in it. and check the oil for water. one or the other could be happening with a bad head gasket. blowing white smoke would also be a sure sign

wait... blowing white smoke from where ?

he put some kinda oil breather on the valve and it does a lil white smoke...
