I guess it smokes to...

Well, no compresion and it smokes.. I would say its time for a new set of rings..

Yep if its burning oil and smoking, the compression is low, and its not running as strong Id rebuild the top end. Make sure you hone your cylinder before you do the new rings... They will seat alot better that way.

90% chance it's the rings or a hole in the piston, 10% it's the valvetrain. Either way, it needs to be cracked open and checked out. There's no sense in running it with 60PSI of compression.
