Bad Rings?
Bad Rings? How would you know if youve ruined the piston rings in your motor.
My car had some bad 02s and ran exxecively rich for a while. I mean bad to.
Got some new ones and ran great for a while, now its starting to get really rich again, and getting bad gas mileage again.
The other day I hopped on the highway and hit it in 2nd and a buddy of mine said I had a puff of blue smoke out of the exhuast. Never had this before so It got me a little worried.
How would I tell If I ruined some rings?
Car seems to run great outside of some idling issues when shes cold (expected with a mail order tune on a big cam). Also when its cold and you hop in and try and take off right away, it will miss and hesitate for a few seconds. Pretty much the first time you get the rpms up though its fine.

I thought I might have tore a valve seal when doing the cam swap, so that was my intial guess and figured Id just tear into it as soon as I got the blazer running, then after I thought about how rich it was running for a while (unburnt gas out the exhaust) I started to worry about the rings.
And it just started running rich again out of nowhere. I really need to get it dynotuned. \
Luckily its about to be back up on jackstands and not seeing DD duty anymore.
