Hello everyone. I got a motor from a 2004 GTO with 89k miles. I had a local machine shop rebuild the motor from top to bottom with new piston rings and all new seals.

I have the motor in my 1996 BMW and have put 7500 miles on it after the rebuild. When I compression tested it my numbers ranged from 148-160ish. I will find my compression test sheet.

I feel like these numbers are very poor. I compression tested my other BMW with 120k miles and original motor and I have from 155-160 across the board.

Also when I pulled the motor I drained the oil and smelled like gas. I think the piston rings are having some issues. Half the spark plugs had oil on them and the other half were dry. The motor also has oil consumption.

Can I get some opinions on what you guys think? The machine shop said the numbers are normal and the motor doesn't need to be fixed.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?
