Default Smoke from breather

so i know this had been coverd a million times because i searched but..

white smoking is pouring out my breather, it doesn't do it bad when idle or going slow but as soon as it starts to boost it smokes like a champ... Doesn't seem like anything is comming out the exhuast, only the breather.

So could it be anything but ringlands? possibly a burnt exhuast valve?

OMG im gonna ******* burn this car to the ground any input would be great.

If it was coming out teh exhaust it could of been Valve stem seals BUT if it is coming from breather it is most likely ring lands unfortunately. Do a compression test, make sure to do it correctly, get the car to operating temp, pull all plugs out, disconnect fuel adn ignition coil, crank car over FULL THROTTLE do same for all cylinders, good luck

**** thats what i was afraid of the car feels slugish but not terrible it smokes like a champ out the breather though. Its wierd though it started smoking one day out of the blue from the exhuast and now its moved to the valve cover...

at idle is not good and more than likely rignlands.. i'd take it easy if you're still driving the car and get comrpessoin asap. one thing if it happens at wot and higher rpm, it should never smoke at idle

Were you running a catch can? Excess crankcase pressure blew the rings on my last motor... Just a thought.

what was your compression? my motor has some smoke out of the breather and is throwing alot of oil out the breather hole in the valve cover.. i mean enough oil to leave my driveway looking like ****..

my compression is 200 195 160 175.. im not sure if mine is ringlands cause the compression is not that great but also not to bad..
