I have a 1993 Ford probe 2.0 smokes really bad in the morning so I replaced the valve seals and still it smokes a lot so I thought it might have been the piston rings so I did a compression test and it came up good all four cylinders had 150 in them I'm really not sure what else it could be any ideas?

Just because you have good compression doesnt mean your oil rings are good. What color is the smoke?

It is blue and white and you can smell the oil burning and it only smokes when cold but once the car is warmed up there's no smoke at all
