Default How much of a power loss can be attributed to bad (oil control) rings???

I'm just curious, I've had bad rings(oil control not compression) on my GS-R swap for a while.

How much power am I losing?

I know extra oil in the combustion chamber can't be all that good...

ive had 2 d series blow rings and ringlands its horrible to have that kind of blow by change the rings man you dont want to expletive up your block because of ringlands breaking off and scratching your cylinder walls then youd burn oil forever...the amount of power has a lot to do with your compression how much depends on how bad your blow by is with bad rings
