[Vwdiesel] Nick's oil on tap (Ring job done but no help )

[Mark Shepherd]

It sounds like pressure past your rings and nothing to do
with oilways...
With my car the venting pressure is at its worst at idle and
revving makes it reduce significantly. IMO this signifies
general wear in the rings and effectively a slow escape of
air past the rings; speeding up reduces time for the
escape??
Maybe increases in escape with increases in speed might mean
a damaged ring (IMO again)

I do!  I can take that hose off the valve cover breather and
turn it down
and watch the oil run out of it. Now how can an engine that
only has 8psi
oil pressure at idle, 20psi at cruise produce so much oil at
the head like
that but read 0psi at the head port? I would hate to see
what my turbo
impeller looks like.

Bart do you have excessive pressure at the cam cover pushing
oil out into intake?
