question for all the A series guru's - Bige, D, DD, etc...

coupes finally on the road, I noticed a little smoke at the stoplight upon takeoff after idling so I was wondering about stem seals, valve seating, guides, etc.. as that seemed the likely culprit.

ran a compression test, 1,3 & 4 are all in the 150ish range & lucky # 2 is running at about 120ish #'s - sucks huh. I did the oil squirt test & of course it went right up to the 150's so that means rings - I've got about 150 - 200 miles on the car maybe?? haven't really kept track but I'm wondering if there's any chance of the rings in #2 seating if I take it up & down the freeway hard or at this point am I doomed to pull the piston & re-ring it?

Thoughts.......
