Vapors are coming out of the breather on the valve cover. Mechanics that see this instantly say I've got significant blowby despite a lack of smoke from the tail pipe.
Three different sources all said worn rings, worn valve seals, worn guides or combination of these.
One says valve seals are no big deal to do.
Two others say pull the head, send it off to get rebuilt and do the rings with the block still in the car.
All three have been or are full time mechanics. All three are trusted friends. Two offered to do it for me free if I supply the parts and help out.
What do you people think?
