Do I have blow-by? Bad rings?
I was reving up my motor to check for leaks on my new 350 i built. and the dip stick shot up... Does this mean I have blow by? A bad ring?
i had a pcv valve on it now i am putting a breather on it to help vent the crank case better...
I havent done a compression check yet... so basically my question is this...
My dipstick shot up today at about 5500 rpms... Is this bad?

Well guess what... i just realized that I have the wrong dipstick in my car... it kept reading a quart low, So i added a total of 6 quarts.... i think too much oil is the culprit perhaps...
