Re: Smoke from breather and dipstick
All engines have blow by, even well broken in ones with great compression. On a used engine it is perfectly normal to have a little blow by wafting out of the breather, a little. Now if it's clouding up the engine bay, that's a different matter. While a compression test will is useful in looking at the over condition of the rings and valves, only a leak down test will tell the real story.
