What did you vacuum read when opening and closing the throttle rapidly? Needle pulls down to zero? ...Indicates rings. Just looking at the Dieselhollic chart for other possible answers.

I also have low vacuum and It pulls down to zero, but I have good compression and no blue /oil smoke out the exhaust. So I question the chart.
