  View original topic: Oil in 3 and 4 rather suddenly, couple of questions.

1600dp, Starts fine and is ok when it's cold, but as soon as it starts to warm up, it starts smoking. A little at first, and then increasingly.
This is something that has only just started to happen. I recently removed the intake manifold to clean out the riser. Could I have gotten something wrong when I put it back together that would cause oil to get into the cylinders?
Is there something besides rings or valve guides that could be causing oil to get into 3 and 4?
I don't have a gauge to do a leakdown test, but I did put a compression gauge on 3, and after leaving it overnight it only dropped about 10 lbs. I have no idea if that is any indication of anything or nothing.
Thanks
