Getting some serious blow by out of the dip stick (i think thats the only place) after just a few minutes of driving (beating it or not). When I stop, it almost looks like under the hood is on fire because of the smoke. Then it stops smoking a couple minutes after I turn the car off.
(just giving background here) I installed a t-stat and pusher fan last night & didn't have much time to see if the temps would rise out of control. As they were hitting the "Hot" level before this. I don't think so, because they looked fine. The bottom end only has about 700 or 800 miles on it. I have a pretty radical setup, but I couldn't imagine it not lasting more than a few hundred miles.
The thing I'm wondering is what could cause the blowby? I'm thinking either PCV Valve or cracked Rings. .... Any other suggestions? Things to look at? .. All this is being done today too since I am hoping to leave for St. Louis tonight.
