Hi Terry, Thanks for taking the trouble and helping. I will have to try your method of filling the chambers with MMO. But I did not check compression yet. I thought it will be way low anyway and I will check when the smell of oil will be gone and the car pulls better. And I thought probably only a leak down test would determine where the blow by is. Which I still have not learned how to do by not being able to find info on it anywhere yet.
