Hello everyone I am new here to the forums. I just bought a 2017 Arctic cat King cat which has the sidewinder motor in it. My question is what compression should I have on a hot motor at 5,000 ft elevation. I have checked the compression and it shows cylinder one and four at 140 psi I got cylinder number two at 120 psi is there something I need to worry about. It also spews a bunch of oil out of the exhaust and smokes like crazy. What are some other things I should look at as far as the oil goes?

that is not good. should be closer than that. might want to check that the valves are closing properly. some one did mention something about shim issue in some condition.
