I have '93 P/U with 173k miles that is having some blowby going past the oil dipstick. I have already checked some things and am looking for some suggestions on what else to check out.
I had my compression checked. The readings ranged from 400-475.
I also had an oil analysis done to check and see if there was antifreeze in the oil from some type of crack in the heads or block.
The analysis came out great with no problems. (it even said that the oil was OK to stay in, after 3k mi. I had changed it anyway and will continue to do so)
It runs fine except for some smoke when it first starts up.
Any other ideas where to check?
I'll be searching the archives for other posts on this subject in the meantime.
