Scott Alair was kind enough to give me a call yesterday about my post
regarding my oil blow-by problem. In my haste to ask for help on the LML I
said my compressions were ranging from 68 to 70 psi  . Last night I checked
the engine logs and found out the compressions are between 78 and 80 psi.  The
compressions were taken during an annual about 2 months ago.  Suppose I should
recheck the compressions, Thanks Scott for the help, sorry to give you bad
data.

BTW, my engine oil is clear as a bell: so clear it's difficult to determine
oil level.  If the issue is a bad ring or two, wouldn’t my compressions
suffer?  Could there be an issue with the oil ring?  We run 10 tractor
trailers at work and have a mechanic on staff.  He thinks the oil rings have
carbon build-up and suggests I add an additive that will clean the rings of
carbon. Is this a good idea?
