Not necessarily.....it depends on how u did the compression test. After the initial (I presume dry) test, u add a tbsp of oil to each cylinder thru the spark plug hole and re-test. If numbers stay about the same, rings r decent. If numbers jump up, (oil sealing bad rings) rings might not be so good.

Yes you can also have bad oil control rings, and good compression causing it to burn oil, but have good compression, seen it before...
