383 blowby
Over the past few months there have been a couple of threads on blowby due to crankcase pressure. Can someone direct me to the thread titles? I'm not having much luck with search.
Thanks,Will

Re: 383 blowby (flynhi)
flynhi, you said blowby due to excessive crankcase pressure. Isnt it the other way around? Excessive crankcase pressure caused by blowby or cylinder compression blowing past the piston rings and into the crankcase.

Re: 383 blowby (flynhi)
I had this problem with my 1st 383...at one point the engine builder had 4 breathers going because he did not "know" what the problem was (this was on a fresh rebuild)
Anyway it turned out to be the rings and I subsequently went with another shop who did a superb job on getting me to where I should've been in the 1st place.
