Blow By 850 1993

To answer your question "blow by" is a reference to how much oil is being burnt by the engine. Usually the main cause of blow by is worn piston rings and cylinder walls if the wear is really bad.

Have you have never noticed black/blue smoke pouring out of your exhaust before? If not, I would also recommend getting a second opinion and maybe even a compression test.


Good luck
