Anyone got a cure for Peter Glaze? Peter's Glaze? Funambulists?

The scoot prep is nearing MOT time but the amount of blowby vented from an open crankcase breather is a worry,   Low revving diesel - Chinese made clone - I am thinking glazed bore so a hone and maybe a new set of rings will sort it.  Obviously the bore is pressed in the cylinder which is part of the same casting as half a crankcase so engine out and dismantle the lot, sump off, split cases, remove crank, cam etc etc. 

 

I realise this is a somewhat technical ask but as the head gaskets cost a fair penny and the amount of work involved  do any tame glaze busters here got useful advice?

Ignore it and use a catch can, piped back into sump if needed.

 

If it's not broke don't fix it

After running for a couple of minutes there was oil dripping off body parts forming a light slick on the floor and a nose destroying fug in the lockup.   Also worryingly the rear tyre had a smear of oil covering it.

Why not try a compression test with/without some oil in the bore ?
