I have smoke coming from breathers and dipstick tube.It happens as soon as engine is started. pushing a little water from cap. No evidence of water in oil. Everything I have read indicates blow by from rings. Did compression check last night numbers seemed ok even on high side. Dry test slightly warm.135 to 165 psi although I forgot to open throttle. Not sure if that would change anything. Valve job done 5 years ago but engine was not used much.
Could I have good compression with ring damage and blow by? Not smoking from exhaust. I suppose it is time for a leak down test. Motor seemed to start to ping at high rpm. I guess from all of the exhaust back into the carb. Did not see the smoke until back at the dock. Would not reach 3000 rpm
port side 3500. Runs about 10 - 15 degrees hotter than port engine also.
Thanks for any advice, Stu
