Hi,
My engine was rebuilt about 7,500 miles ago. About 2,000 miles ago it starting producing some excess blow-by (evidenced by crankcase pressurization). I can solve this by simply removing the PCV and venting to the atmosphere.
However, I am still perplexed by what "changed" to cause this. Then I started thinking that a season or two ago I started to run a bottle of Techron through the gas tank once or twice a season.
Is it just possible the Techron removed some beneficial carbon build-up which was helping to seal the rings? I have read about this here or there but, has anyone actually seen evidence to support this theory?
