oil in cylinder on new motor
I just picked up a b18b1 that had been stored for quite a while and some of that time on its side. The head is good the head gasket is good and so are the valves. Could it be bad piston rings? I just don't want to tear the whole engine down. Any ideas, areas to examine especially well would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: oil in cylinder on new motor
I've broken down plenty of motors I was just curious if it could have been something other than the rings. I have some CP pistons and some skunk2 rods I can use so I'm thinking ill just toss them in. I've had engines (all big block ford with pushrods) and I know in those if you store them for an extended period of time you can get oil that'll creep down the valves. Though that is a completely different design. One should not make assumptions as to the abilities of someone just because they're new. I've been working on engines for almost 30 years my friend. I just wanted any ideas for something Ive missed, being an engine that was never run, sitting in a dealership warehouse for 20 years one would think the rings would be okay.
