5S-FE Blow-by
My '96 5S-FE 4 cyl has really intense blow-by at idle as judged by removing the oil filler cap. If I place my hand over the filler cap hole, it is quickly covered in oil. The PCV valve system and other breather line to the intake are both free and clear. Compression on all cylinders is between 175 and 185 psi. Engine is relatively smooth-running and seems to have normal power for this engine at least.
This may be a characteristic of the 5S-FE engine. Anyone else give input on their experience with this?
