You don't mention the age or condition of the oil. In an engine with that
mileage, there's sure to be some blowby and/or valve guide/seal leakage
letting engine oil into the cylinders. Clean oil should make a
significant difference. My wife's old Laser once failed emissions testing
by huge margins and then passed with flying colors the following day after
an oil change.
Good luck,
Craig
