Well, I guess my engine wasn't flooded like I thought. I did a compression test today, and got 30-40 psi across all 4 cylinders. I added oil and got 200psi across the board. So, the rings are obviously bad.

And it is all thanks to the boost creep.

Oh well, I guess it's an excuse to build the engine up. I'll probably just boil the block, bore .020 over replace bearings, and get some forged pistons with bigger ring lands. And also some ARP studs with a new stock head gasket. That's enough for me.
