| RE: Oil Blow-By |

| I'd do the leak down test as gerry suggested. Usually alot of blow by is caused by the vents plugged or a compression ring is weak and letting compression by the ring or rings and pressurization the oil pan area forcing the oil to be air born. A leak down test along with a compression test will illumate the rings. I'd also make sure it's breathing (venting) properly. If I had one it would problem have the same problem cause I couldn't keep My FOOT out of it. Another sign is alot of moisture forming when the air temperture is cooler or alot of humidity. This forms due to the pressurization of the lower end. If you run the car in colder weather I change the oil more often. Just my opinion and experience up north with a high mileage FE. RC |
