Arrow Don't rule out RINGS.

Hi,
Sorry to say but your rings didn't seat.
Rings initially seat in the 1st 10 minutes of running.
Hastings Rings says;
You check fluids and timing,then drive it in 2nd or 3rd gear , 1/2 throttle 2,000 to 4,000 rpm to 2,000 rpm on and off to set the rings. Do this about 6 or 8 times and the rings will be set, drive the car normally after doing this.
Your engine needs a re-ring and hone, then do that to break the rings in correctly.
Perry.
BTW; Blowby past the rings goes up through the guides and intake valve during overlap and into intake manifold so there will be oil there.
