Quote: The rings need a smooth finish to seat properly and they will show less than 4% leakdown if they have. IMO, yours haven't.
i kind of figured that, but will have to deal with that at another time.

If you disconnected the PCV and drove it for 50 miles you should see no drop in oil level if it's sucking past the valve. I dont think it is.
if it's sucking past the PCV, then i should see a drop in oil use, is that what you mean? if it's the rings, then obviously that won't help, but at least i eliminate this as a source.
