I've lost ~30psi compression (some worse, some less) across all six... still acceptable compression, but in the little bit of mileage I've put on this motor between tests, not acceptable.
It's getting lots of blow-by. Smoke coming out of the valve-covers and blowing the dipstick out. I can feel the engine pulsing through the covers as well.
Burns oil as soon as you start it as well... fouling out the plugs too.
And it's also developed a rod-knock. pretty badly too.
All of this is pointing at something in the oiling system, to me.
so, 15k miles on this engine, and it's down for a rebuild.
