Re: bad blowby?

The real fix is to eliminate the blowby (probably engine overhaul). A leakdown test should tell you where you stand. A catch can is used by some that don't have excessive engine wear.

I'd recommend a leakdown test, as Rob/Shoebox suggested, before jumping to the conclusion it needs to be rebuilt. They can run 200,000 miles without a rebuild, with proper maintenance.
