    Blow-by Problem?

    Sup everyone... I just joined this forum today!
    I have a 92 Ex coupe and theres strong air that puffs out of the oil fill hole on top of the valve cover when the cars running. What causes this and is this a problem? the PCV valve seems to work and I just checked compression and each cylinder is at 190 which means the rings are still ok right? my miles just hit 100,000 and I missed the turn over he he

    Is it something to that nature? His was doing this because of a bad piston, but your compression checked out fine so IDK.

      You're supposed to have blow-by gasses as far as I know, but if they're too high I guess it means there could be a compression problem?
      There was a thread were fizz talked about this, saying he had too much blowby gas but I can't seem to find it....

      on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
      where you been, is something wrong?
      i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

        Thnx for the replies.
        I dont see smoke coming out so its not as bad as that guys problem lol. The puffs of air seem to be pretty strong- like an exhaust pulse so I was concerned. Found that thread by fizz and others but I still havent found an answer. Anyone else know about this, and is it really a problem? BTW, my car runs good.

          some air pumping out of the valve chamber is entirely normal. if it's popping off your PCV valve or some crazy stuff like that, then there is def. a problem.
