when i took off my oil cap the other day I realized that I have really really bad blowby (you know, where puffs of air blow out the top of the valve cover). how damaging is blowby to performance! I raced my friend who bought my b16a del sol and we were neck and neck until third gear when he took off on me (and the mid 90's bmw 328i on my other side took off after third gear as well.

basically i know my piston rings are shot out like a hippies teeth, but how much blowby is too much and how is excessive blowby affecting my performance N stuff
