old rat 49 Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Have been driving the heck out of the old beast lately and loving it. Have noticed however that the crankcase is really blowing a lot more smoke. Sitting at a long light yesterday there was a heck of cloud but I don't really see smoke when driving. It's running great but is this more than likely from worn rings ? Quote
Rusty O'Toole Posted June 18, 2012 Report Posted June 18, 2012 Most likely bad rings and maybe even a broken piston. Is there a lot of blowby coming out the oil filler when idling? You could try a compression test to be sure. Quote
old rat 49 Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Posted June 18, 2012 Lots at filter and tube. Will do a compression test again this week. But it's not blowing any out the tailpipe. Quote
