Have you ever changed the PVC? It could
Be clogged and forcing everything out the intake hose. Or it's massive blow by. Do a compression test and a leak down test.

Watched the video and it looks to me like you cracked the ring lands on the pistons or the rings are shot.I would def do a compression test .

 

[oh-b-1g]

Looks like blow by to me! I can't see any other reason an engine would have that much pressure coming from the crank case...

 

[psx]

so i need new rings? and pistons?

 

[jayson427]

yeah wow thats ALOT of pressure do a compression test to see whats going on with the bottom end.

+1 That is way too much blow-by for idle, even if the PCV is clogged. Blue smoke also confirms that oil is being burnt. So it's likely you'll need some bottom end parts and some block work, but don't start counting eggs before they hatch. Run a compression and leak down test to verify a damaged cylinder. If so then start tearing it down and assessing the damage.

Does the car smoke alot from the tailpipe too?

Stop jumping to conclusions. You need to do a compression and leak-down test as mentioned in the very first response to your thread.

Do a compression test first and see what is going on.It just looks like some extreme blowby

woweee, 90% sure its time for a rebuild

cylinder 4-60psi
cylinder 3-90psi
cylinder 2-115psi
cylinder 1-80 psi

yeah not even close to 150.

WTF That's no good. What are you using to tune? You're looking at overheating, knock or you washed the cylinder walls to create that kind of pain across all 4.

 

[psx]

I was driving with a 14b and hit a bit boost spike. So i just put a
New head gasket n BSE with new gaskets n timing belt:/ no tune jus stock

 

[Spyderman7]

Well that sucks Might as well start pulling it back apart.

Damn... did you forget to put the head gasket back on when you installed the head?

What kind of gasket is it, and how did you prep the head? Did you check the head and block for flatness?

A boost spike isn't a reason to tear a head off and replace a head gasket; mine spikes every day to 30+ psi. Wanna tell us the rest of the story?

yea im on it

Can I buy new rings and put them in or do i need pistons aswell?

 

[Spyderman7]

When you pop the pistons out and start removing the rings you'll know if you need to replace the piston.Take pictures and post them for all to see.When you remove the pistons do one at a time and dont mix up the rod caps .

 

[miguelmcv]

Yea, Don't buy anything till you see and measure the pistons.
You don't even know if you have standard or oversize pistons, So no rush, Just take it apart, look, measure and after that, you can order what ever part you need.

Good luck.

Pistons ring lands cracked on all 4

 

[oh-b-1g]

Bummer! what are ya gonna do with that 6 bolt? haha! hope you get her back up and rippin soon!

 

[3kgt2nv]

if you are looking to stay stock i have a good set of rods/pistons from my 6 blot that would just need to be re ringed. could do them for a good price if your interested

 

[psx]

Im doing a stock rebuild, but i ordered some nippon pistons and got a good deal on OEM rings (30$). And Im not giving up on her

thank you for offer, wish i would have seen there earlier

 

[boost97gst]

How did that car even run?? Wow. Thats extremely low compression numbers. Glad your fixing it though and GL with the rebuild.

 

[psx]

Ok after i put the head gasket on the 1st time and starter her up, I took a little trip around the block. It was at those low compression numbers but the car ran ok just alot of blue smoke.
