Xr3i porblem
Just had the sump gasket done AGAIN on my 3i and ive noticed oil coming into the air box.
Could this be the rings? Im going to buy a compression tester to see what the readings are.
What should they be?
Anything else it could be?

With these leaks and oil in the airbox your breathers may be blocked, the pipe on the back of engine from rocker cover to base of block used to get blocked, and the metal pipe it goes onto.
BE VERY CAREFUL if you disturb the pipe as the shit that blocks it can/will fall in the sump, and then block the strainer... best time to disturb it would've been when the sump was off.
Check the canister breather on the other side of the rocker cover too , make sure it's not blocked and all the other pipes to/from it.
Compression test only tells you so much, needs a leakdown test doing.
