    Re: blow back

    blow back - exhaust gasses coming out of the carb

    blow by - dipstick pops out and sprays oil everywhere

    which one?

    worn rings, worn calve guides, broken pistons...

    but if it's not breathing out of the dipstick or rocker cover it ain't happening...

    yeah, it means oil is getting past the seals because they are knackered.

    Re: blow back

    you might need to understand why it failed, it's unlikely to just be old age, you need to satisfy yourself which of the following made it fail, and rectify.

    it's been abused, not cooled down, over boosted...
    dirty oil
    low oil pressure

    think that's it
