Hello, what is an "acceptable" amount of blow-by? After a drive there is a good stream of smoke from the blow-by tube. Its pretty much a constant stream, not blowing smoke rings of puffs. Its enough that when I park with the engine idling I can look out the passenger window and see the haze. The oil has about 2000mi on it and I'v added about 1qt of lucas since I'v changed it.
I sent a sample to blackstone labs for analysis when it was changed and everything looked good exept a very small amount of coolant and silica was just a tad high, all wear metals in spec at over 6k mi on the oil. It has had the blow-by problem for a few years but it seems more noticable, its usually worse in the winter.
Also, the engine always starts fine. What exactly would be causing the blow-by? I'm open to all suggestions thanks
