excessive crankcase pressure... causes other than oil separator? 700

I had a compression test done before I put my second turbo unit on, but that was about 50k miles ago, so I guess it's possible one or more rings have gone since then. Damn it, it's only at 215k miles.

Okay, so what can I expect assuming the rings on one or more of teh pistons are bad? Slow degradation and eventual full seize or is this the kind of thing that leads the engine to just rip itself apart eventually?

I guess I'm just wondering how long I can drive the car before I have to scrap it. I'd rather keep it, but it is an '85 and I don't think an engine rebuild is really wortn the money (although all the cash I've put in lately to get it in good shape suddenly becomes pointless).

I'll probably have another compression test done when I take it in to change the oil next.
