just ran a compression test on all my cylinders on my 370ci. 6.0 PT88mm Turbocharged...and >

all of them were from 145-148psi is this good seems to me a little low. what do you all think of this numbers. My engine is a 370ci. low compression 8.8, pistons are Probe -16.5cc with Diamond rings... top ring was gaped at .22 and second ring was gaped .26 for boost. But im having a little blow-by blowing threw the filter on top of the valve cover... looks like steam enough where you can see it coming out. but the oil pressure is steady at 38-40psi at idle and from 60-80 psi at wide open trottle. Well what do you think ? is this normal anyone having little blow-by at idle? i also checked my spark plugs and they all look real clean with no oil at all.

well right now im just running breathers on all my vents and steam started to come out my valve cover breather. but i used to run a catch-can (small one) with a check valve, it would fill up quik so i removed it like 2 days ago. can you let me know how you run yours on the lil sis.

ok ive been searching your lil sis threads to see if i find a pic of how do you have it routed and i found this one, do you have any other picks i can see on the engine bay. you run your check valve only on the driver cover right but i dont get how you have the driver cover routed. thanks man for the help.

i see the catch can... do you find any oil in there sumtimes?

thats the only one i have...but the hose is attached from the pass-side hose that used to go behind the throttle body.... i just routed it to the catch can...and it does get full of oil, but it takes alot of runs to do so
