matty.vrt 120 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Exessive oil coming out of the oil breather is another symptom. Link to post Share on other sites
*P3nfold* 0 Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Too a degree you get quite alot of smoke from the oil breather as well?Would low compression be an indication? or this that more head related? Link to post Share on other sites
matty.vrt 120 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 yep the compression will be low as its leaking past the rings. Link to post Share on other sites
