Happy smogging

(been doing this for 4 years now with my truck)

Boxpin you the man. I've been getting noxious fumes out the tailpipe since after I whacked that deer. My emissions are overdue and I was getting worried I wouldn't be able to find a dirty inspection shop to get the damn little sticker.

But when I changed my plugs they were wore down pretty round and white tips. With the black soot i get out the exhaust and my halfass compression test, I'm sure the piston rings are worn and it's blow-by/oil coming out the exhaust. Can't afford a rebuild or replacement engine till july/aug.

Any trick to get that to pass emissions?

I know this will have everyone screaming but I'm thinking of putting this XADO rubbish directly into my car's cylinders. Followed by oil/filter change to thicker oil.
