Hi Terry,
Thanks for taking the trouble and helping.  I will have to try your method
of filling the chambers with MMO.
But I did not check compression yet.  I thought it will be way low anyway
and I will check when the smell of oil will be gone and the car pulls
better.  And I thought probably only a leak down test would determine where
the blow by is.  Which I still have not learned how to do by not being able
to find info on it anywhere yet.
Zoltan
