Hi there,

The normal cause of blow by is a poor seal of the piston rings, this can be due to a broken ring or worn bores and diminished ring tension, there is very little you can do, short of a re ring, when you use a a flush you may dislodge some of the built up carbon behind the rings and actually make matters worse.
