Someone had suggested installing a sand seal. Will this work? The symptom is leaking oil out the back of the engine. However, the PROBLEM is too much blowby through rings that haven't seated or with cylinders that have walls too thin. You can't FIX this with a sand seal, but you may be able to put it out of mind for a short time. Chances are, however, that it will just get worse.
