Just been reading up on breathers...yes I did a search (so many do not lol) I have both of my breathers with small K&N filters on them...not connected to my Hif44. I believe this is not a good thing, having read all of the info but would this crankcase pressure be causing oil to push past my piston rings?

Im having the same problem i recently did a refurb on my hif44 and instead of connecting the breathers i put k&n like you have on the breathers.. i still have smoke before and after i did this.. what im going to do just to rule one last thing out is to replace the valve guilds if that does not fix it it has to be rings.. fingers crossed its not

Just chatting to a chap who is setting timing etc on the car today and he thinks it's rings, just running a compression test to check...ah well, pull the engine out...again

He just left me a message saying rings and valves showed excellent results on the compression test so it has to be guides or seals....ordered both and going to replace...I've ordered the tool from MRA to fit the guides.
