Oil control rings shot?

check the shaft for thrust play and excessive side to side play indicating worn shaft bearings and/or worn thrust plate.

Bryan also removes the oil restrictor to the compressor assembly which sometimes causes blowby issues even in the turbine section. you can run a restrictor to the oil feed if you have any oil pressure modifications or lacking crankcase breathers.

Sorry for the crappy pictures, was tough to get a good focused shot from laying on my back under the car. I checked the shaft for play by hand, no thrust (end-to-end) or side-to-side play that I can feel, but the shaft rotates freely without any binding.

Didn't know Bryan removes the oil restrictor; would that be an issue with a stock oil system? I have no oil pressure mods. Also, the car is using the stock crankcase ventilation system, which was tested per the FSM and found to be working.
