No problem it does sound like you may have worn piston rings. How long have you had that breather on there for though? Sometimes they can just accumulate a lot of oil in there over time

 

I put it on yesterday. Because i replaced the intercooler piping the day before and i had oil in the pipes so i read and they said ither catch can or breather. But i also have a little extra oil in my motor. I did a change and dumped the whole 5qt in there. And check and was a lil high. May that and my turbo is taking a **** be the cause?

 

The only thing I can recommend before you start chasing your tail is to bring it to STM and at least have them diagnose it.

 

did a compression test yesterday.
#1- 110
#2- 95
#3- 110
#4- 75 (here's my problem)
this was i dry test i then only added oil to #4 and it jumped up to 100. So what does this mean new rings? car runs good no cel still has power but not 100 % Also havent had blow by only smokes sometimes under boost.

Low compression would explain the loss of power. Leaking rings would explain the blowby. High oil would make the transfer of oil to the intake worse. An engine like this might run a long time if you don't beat on it and if you don't mind the low power or possible oil consumption. Otherwise, overhaul.

 

Ill be driving it like this with no boat until my other caris out the body shop which is may 26 then ill be taking it apart. Hopefully no damage to block will be doing all acl bearings manley piston rings arp head main and rod bolts headgasket. And then tune.

 

Thank you.

 

Btw problem wasn't rings it was ringlands on #4 were crack pieces being held by rings so no damage. Bought some things from here and the rest from stm. Car is almost done. Messing with timing now. Thanks for all the help guys.
