I'm the owner of an 84 Ford Thunderbird, and since I've put a new 302 in
it, I've noticed horrible blow by. The breather element has to be
replaced roughly every oil change; it gets saturated with oil. My
understanding is that this is caused by at least one bad ring, causing
oil to get top side, and out of the breather, up to the air cleaner. If
I'm losing compression, in such a manner, I'm losing power, correct? The
engine is nice; no noticable lag or cut out...
What should I do, and how serious is this? (I'm considering puttin in a
302 HO, because I have a leaky driver side valve cover gasket, as well
as a bad rear main...)
