When I bought it, flood car, out of warranty, the car wasn't running right due to the common problem of camshaft adjuster gone bad.. and that was replaced and now is fine. The car NEVER miss fires. When I turn it on in the morning, it is a really gas smelling mixture.

Somebody told me that it could also be running so rich on that cylinder causing cylinder 'wash' or carbon in the ring for cyl 1.

Do you think that if the problem wasn't in the rings but rather in the intake compression being low would cause it to burn oil?
