Ok motor has been rebuilt like 2000k's ago. went beautifully up until something got into 1 cylinder and wrecked the piston and damged the head. took it back they recoed that cylinder under warranty and away i went again.
now since then it has never felt the same as it did the 1st time round.
Anyway it fills the catch can up quite reguarly. I run 7psi half the time and 12psi some of the time. also there is a lot f smoke venting from the catch can breather. I always see it coming from under my hood when i am sitting at the lights etc.
did they f*ck something up, what could it be and how am i going to get them to make it right???
cheers all
definately a problem,id say that #1 cylinder ring hasnt bedded in properly and thats where your cylinder pressures are getting into the crankcase.
go back and get them to check it.
also do a comp test on the engine when hot with the throttle open

how do i do that. drive along some windy hilly roads for a couple of hours.
In the old farm diesel days they would drop in a few grams of wheat chaff finely
ground up to 'hone' the bores, in that the engine would be running during that
time cant quite imagine doing that to a turbo motor
but hey if it starts to blow smoke from a ring or two then I might just try it !
but only on idle with AFM off so I can see how fast it gets sucked in...
edit:
I meant to say into air inlet, guess you'd work that out
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

load it up, low rpms, high gear and heavy throttle. Carloads of people are good as well.
so you reckon if say i hit the hills of warrandyte through kangaroo grounds and yarra glen etc. in high gears with wide open throttle doin say 2000 rpm most of the time for a couple of hours.
then if its still blowing smoke and oil its not just that the rings are not bedded in
how much boost should i run bedding these suckers in. or atleast attempting to bed them in. does it matter?
when ya bed in rings, you're not supposed to boost it. Just exactly wat ATMO_BT1 said (load it up, low rpms, high gear and heavy throttle. Carloads of people are good as well.) this doesnt mean you have to take it through the hills, just things like taking corners a gear or 2 higher than normal and taking off in 2nd etc. putting a strain or a load on the engine.
who told you not to boost it the boost helps bed the rings in i always run 10 psi take it for a good drive aquirt here aquirt there then after that theres minimal blow by that goes away shortly after
if the car is auto, how do you load it up in a high gear without it dropping back a gear and even if it were a full manual auto wouldnt it fry the frictions?

the qualifieds at work told me not to boost when running in and also a guy at an engine reco joint.
If its auto then hills and full car loads will help, but you can only drive it as normal

on a turbo car? if they told you that they are rong.... dont boost on a new engine the bores may glaze up and vent like a mofo run rich on a new engine same thing will happen
