blowing oil

Anonymous-0 · May 27, 2008

I have a 801 ford that is blowing oil out the muffler. Compression check ok. What could it be?

Could be worn valve guides.

However, you must realize a compression test doesn't mean much when it comes to using oil.

If the upper rings are reasonably good, you will have good compression. HOWEVER, the oil control ring(s) could still be damaged or worn, allowing oil to get past them.

Ditto what Bob said.

Now.. is this a diesel? If so.. could be a diesel 'slobber' problem / wet stacking.. etc.

post back.

Could be a broken ring. Hal

If it ain't too critical, try a real heavy oil like 50 or 60weight. If it don't help, then tear into it. Valve guides make most of their smoke after tractor has been setting, then smoke less as warms up.
