Post subject:  rings?

ok 1974 dart 225 stock

cleaned up valve cover, all new grommets, pcv valve, and cracnkcase breather (eledbrock push in from advance)

after a trip i popped the hood and i have oil coming from the breather (crankcase, not from the grommet, the little holes underneath, like oil soaked filter)

i converted to synthethic and i now have a head gasket leak, but an comtinuing to drive it till i get an off day or two)

do i have shot rings causing the extreme blow-by or is this contributed by the head leak?

help appreciated, dustin

If you've got a blown head gasket it could be pressurizing the crankcase and blowing oil out the breather.

Easy test for rings - run a compression check on each cylinder, then squirt some heavy oil into each cylinder and run check again - if compression jumps up then its likely rings.
