You will eventually blow a gasket or worse destroy a major seal. Also you can make the engine knock if you don't put high enough octane in, the higher the compression usually means the higher the octane you need, unless you have high compression from a supercharger or turbo, then it is not as necessary. But if you have knocking it means the gasoline engine is running like a diesel, which can destroy an engine if it happens for long enough. In a circumstance like that major components break, and not just seals and gaskets, you would likely have to replace the whole engine. If you decide to run high compression you must put heavier duty components in an engine. Good luck.

What does it mean if there is smoke coming out of the dipstick hole on a Volvo 850SE as well as smoke out of the exhaust when I rev the engine during idling and at start-up Will thicker oil help?

It means the piston rings or the bore of the motor are worn an let too much compression get into the sum and the oil rings are letting too much oil get to the cylinder head.


What could cause low compression in all cylinders of a 1986 Isuzu Trooper with an inline 4?

AGE ! if it is low compression and not no compression then your piston rings and valves are worn too much and the engine probably needs to be rebuilt.
