I have a 1990 GS-T with 220k miles that had been sitting for a while before I obtained it, should I use oil flush in an attempt to get gunk out or leave it be to avoid causing leaks? Also if yes what flush do you recommend?
 
Did the motor get broken in when it was rebuilt or did it sit for 2 years before startup? Could be that you are experiencing blow by from the rings not seated yet. Does it smoke while running??
 
I just don't know what to do about the crankcase pressure... It's shooting oil out of my dipstick... And my oil is a blackish/dark grayish color not even 2 days after oil change... And wondering if I'm getting coolant mixing with my oil

Scenario; bought car with bad rod bearing, when I lived in Alabama rebuilt motor used my buddy 92 block all new seals gaskets, rings... And so on... Moved to Iowa car sat in storage for 2yrs then I picked it up and just started to drive it about a month ago, found out oil pump was bad ( I reused the old one) didn't have money to buy new at the time, got a new orbit pump...so the car barley even has 50miles on it, did my first oil change, notice oil spraying out so added more oil when I noticed it leaking from pan, and the color was not right..
 
Could the cylinders have collected rust, even a small amount from sitting? I was worried that the rings might have been eaten up by something like that is why I ask.
