IMO, the question is whether issues with ring design is causing pre-mature blow-by....and "engagement" of the PCV function.
Question answered!!! If the oil rings are getting gunked up and are sticking inside the groove that would aid in the added blow by (although they are just a scrapper and as far as I know they do not add that much to compression.) So as I said in previous post I did change out the PCV and had no change in oil consumtion. The PCV can only do so much. So one must get these rings and holes cleaned up someway short of a complete rebuild.
