Is there somthing wrong with my car
-
A bad valve stem seal usually only smokes during idle and initial start-up. And a bad valve seat doesn't cause a car to burn oil under load like that, actually at all. If the guides aren't worn and the stem seals are still decent, it won't burn oil at all. Just be a little low on compression. Worn guides and bad valve stem seals will cause oil consumption but usually it won't be just under WOT. Which is why I am pointing towards PCV or rings. It's gotta be something that changes under a load.

ok here is the deal compression 190+ all cyc (WARM ENGINE BUT DRY TEST). Leakdown lessthan 5% Head was inspected it cheaked out good in tearms of valve guides and cracks. the botto end has 115k on it. the vavle seals are good just replaced before install (sat for about three months). I am nthinking the rings are bad. the intake is bad (oil covered) up to the TB BTw I am running 20-50 during that run it was worse when it was 10-30
Hehehe the fastest mesquetoe sprayer in the midwest.

yeah that is the combo
Has it always smoked? Did the d15 smoke? What condition was the z6 head in?I know a common problem when putting a higher compression head on a low compression bottom can wear on the rings pretty quick.
So if the DX rings were already shot, then this would just multiply the problem.

that's is really funny. i think my car is bad, maybe we should do a side by side roll and see how much more oil you urn then i do!

the z6 head was cheak out by a macine shop and past as a good head the bottom end smoked a bit so that is why i think it is the rings.BTW i would be more than happy to do a roll side by side. My car is still quick so if you get stuck behind me sorry
