I sincerely hope that you were not referring to me. I suggest you tone it down.

Sure, poor ring seal can add pressure to a crankcase. But not likely that much.... and not all at once. Rings don't just "let go" all at once like he described in the first post. Only other possibility would be a hole burnt in the piston, but I'm doubting that. We will see if "Mr. Almighty" nails yet another diagnosis here shortly.
