Pete,
What would you say if I asked if you considered the heads? Oil rings are
still a good possibility, but there might be more happening here. Maybe
guides. Got access to a leak down tester? That would tell ya.

Trying to figure out a cheap fix for the oil getting to the topside of the
LH piston.
Did a compression check yesterday, good news with both sides at 160 psi
(cold) so I am assuming that the chrome is not flaked off and that the oil
rings are the problem and are not expanding like they should.
Changed oil and added a pint of detergent additive hoping that will free up
the rings.
Looked for chrome flakes but my drain pan was full of old crud from X oil
changes before and couldn't make a call on that. Next time I'll start with
a clean pan.
If this doesn't work, I'll have to do some surgery.
Anybody else have experience with stuck oil rings ?
Thanks
