Pat,

What does a leakdown test say?

The same thing happened to the prior owner of my airplane: he didn't break in the engine properly so the rings didn't seat before the hatch was worn off they cylinders: the result was a permanent blowby condition that required a teardown and deglaze.

What procedure did you follow to deglaze the cylinders the first and second times?

Never despair: it's only time and money at stake.
