Re: engine blow by
if you have an auto parts store nearby that has loan a tool with deposit...get a compression gauge...it has an adapter with threads like a spark plug... disable the distributor my removing the coil wire...you will remove each plug one at a time...screw the attachment into the spark plug hole and crank the engine a few times...there is a pressure gauge on the end of the compression check tool...this will show you the compression in each combustion chamber...check for specs for you engine...and you will find out if this is your problem...usually there is a set pressure with a built in +/- tolerance...and also standard deviation between combustion chambers...such as if an 8 cylinder...all are around 90 psi and one is 70 psi...the 70 psi would be out of standard deviation
