Sticky Piston Rings?

[Calen.Whitlock]

I sadly let my EP Sit for about half a year while I was saving money to rebuild my Cylinder head. Bent valves long story. Anyway got my cylinder head rebuilt and installed and running fine but it blows blue smoke at start up and whenever I let it idle for more than like 10 seconds. Any solutions on how to free the rings or help without taking the cylinder head off again? I compression tested it and found cylinder 1 is the problem cylinder.

Blue smoke in most cases means theres probably engine oil entering the cylinder and burning with the fuel mixture. The compression test shows that it is most likely the cause. Unfortunately it seems that when you bent your valve, you also did some damage to the rings and you'll need to tear down the entire thing to fix it.
