Blown Engine?

my friends car is running really shitty, i did a compression check and its 45-45-45 and 90-90-90 rear and so it blows alot of white smoke, does it means apex seals are bootay or just water seals?

Blown... 120 psi is brand new 90 is about average for a high mileage motor and about on its last leg and 45 well lets say its gone to the heavens... One word about the smoke, the more you run that motor the more damage your doing to the front rotor housing because the apex seal is turning over in the housing and doing alot of damage possibly to the point it will be unusable. -Gabe

because the car was from a un realiable person, he drove it hard when it's cold, because i remember once he started the car up after a few hours and decides to drift right after initial start up so i believe he doesn't know about rotaries, he also got gutted main cats and hks intake, which is big time boost and could have crack the seals, and prolly he let it over heat because water is always missing, and not enough coolant which causes major **** up.....
