Do a compression test on each cylinder, note the number, then squirt some oil in the cylinder and run the test again. If you get an increase in compression with oil in the cylinder, your ready for new rings. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | A small amount is normal. It is not exhaust. It is blowby. It is compression that leaks by the piston rings. If it is excessive it is an indication you have worn out piston rings. If it is puffing you could have a burn't piston. If the oil is thined out from needing changing or poluted from gas it will also cause this. Sometimes a heavier viscosity oil will help.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | |
