My b3 engine have been smoking blow-by and having oil in the air intake pipe. I cleaned the intake pipe and routed a new hose pipe to an oil catch can. But when I remove the oil cap it is blowing lots of blow-by. Is there an additive that works that can cleans the piston rings. Does the STP Smoke Treatment works? Has anyone used it and worked?

used and doesnt work. You need an overhault, sorry!! Nothing chemical will fix a mechanical problem. -
I just found out that the oil ring of cylinder 4 only that is the problem. I filled all 4 cylinders of kerosene and diesel to clean the pistons and see which one is leaking. It showed clearly that it is cylinder 4 that is leaking oil. Also the spark plug 4 is a little wet in oil. I will take what I can on this engine. It is not worth the work and money.:festiva: 1995 Kia Pride, 1.3 EFI, manual. :fred:Comment

Then, what about just changing the rings, hone the cylinders and change the gaskets.Comment
