Sounds like you blew a ring land, Do a compression check. Your getting excessive crankcase pressures.

Oh God, blow by out the valve cover, must be broken ringlands!

Blow-by out the valve cover breather on a boosted Honda is NORMAL. If it's excessive, it could mean broken ringlands, but some blow-by under boost is normal. Especially on a built motor that has looser piston to cylinder wall clearance.

very true. built hondas will produce more blowby, especially boost built ones. The bug question is, how much boost were you running for how long on the stock pcv system

10psi+ for any more than a few months could mean serious issues.

compression test will usually tell you next to nothing. i compression tested 180+ psi on all four cyls with no more than a 10 psi difference on my B16 with toasted ringlands. leakdown is the only way. good luck.

don't **** a brick if you are lower than 180 across the board though.....my boosted b16 does 160 across the board and is consistent.......i wouldn't be too worried if you are a bit lower than that....

thats compression tho, all that matter with ringlands is leakdown

if the ringlands are cracked it will still make good compression (as brett pointed out)

his b16 made 180 across the board with 3 cracked ringlands
