I am experiencing extreme crankcase pressure. I have cleaned out all the components of the flametrap and put in a new seal (this actually made it worse). I get a woosh of air and oily mist when I pull out the dip stick and the filler cap has oil pressing out of it as well. I have put a new oil cap on.

The car runs very well and there is no smoke out the back – but I am still guessing I have a serious issue with my piston rings. This is an engine that was abused before I bought the car and replaced the head due to a timing belt break.

Question:
1) Could this be something other than the rings?

2) If it is the rings is there something I can do other than replace them?
