Could be the wrong (original Miata) PCV valve just as well as blowby.

The leakdown test should help you determine where the air is coming from.
Alot from the filler cap?
Those numbers are terrible, obviously. I'd guess your chrome rings never
seated. The oil leakage is probably from excessive blowby.

HI,
about 2k miles ago, i rebuild the tranny,(costly mistake, should have gone
used), old jrsc, and motor on a 95M-ed w/ a jrsc. the machine guy, (excellent
reputation and I have used him before), disassembled the reciprecating mass
did various machining, (10 over) and reassembled it. he toldme the rings didnt
require any break in and i slowly put the car back together.
shortly after i got it re-registered, i had to do emissions and i couldnt
get it to pass after a different exhaust, timing, chaging plug/wire, blah,
blah,blah. now the car leaks oil from all seals, f/r, everywhere, like the
valdez.
i was hoping, (in a way), that i had done something bad or wrong but after
a leak down test, (47, 65, 67, 72), it seems it must be rings of cyl walls. do
you concur?
ok lets say you do. is the best option to pull the entire drive train or
could i pull the head and maybe just change the rings with the block in the car?
this was the "biggest" job i have done and i probably know the answer. i
just hope there is an easier way i havent thought of :( i do feel good that it
does not look like it was anything i did worng but i still have to deal with
the situation.
thanks for your comments,
peter
