The thing is, when the engine has SERIOUS problems like it sounds like
Luther's has, there will be so much blowby that it will overtake the
oil
separator system.
True, but wouldn't such blowby manifest itself with the oil filler
cap off? A plume like Vesuvius?
If I had a camera with me, I'd take pictures of the air cleaner
inside. It's barely touched by oil film. When I had it apart several
weeks ago, I cleaned it up, half of it was dry and crusty, not fresh
oil.
That doesn't _sound_ like a serious blowby problem. Keep romping on
it, maybe you'll be lucky.
Once it is running better maybe you could take your compression
numbers again. See if they changed. Ditto with your oil consumption
figures.
