So its blowing front main seals left and right, and burning retarded amounts of oil. Did this motor always do this ever since the first day you got it? I'm leaning toward the rings not being installed properly. The gap in the rings have to be at a certain angle to each other. Or one of the pcv breather lines, mainly the big rubber hose on the intake cam cover is plugged. I don't know, but whatever it is, it doesn't just happen I can assure you that. Your problem is definitely human error, not yours, but whoever built the engine at jasper or whoever installed it.

touche`. I dont catch breaks these days. Im gonna run down stairs in a minute and see if i can suck air out of the pcv line. If i cant. Bingo. If i can im ripping off the valve covers, No.3 cylinder cover, and my plugs to run a comp test. Ill post results tomorrow morning most likely.

Im almost preying its as simple as replacing my turbo and buying new valve covers. As sad as that sounds.

As far as wether this has happened before, it never burned oil when i first got it. Not a bit. Then it did it a little bit, then when it overheated and the other turbo blew, it started to do it alot. Im thinking yea it is the damn turbo. If they improperly installed the rings, the previous compression test wouldn't have shown 175 across the board. But we will see what happens here in this next comp test. Anyone else realize that a comp. test is like the scariest test ull ever take hahaha. ACT's, ASVAB, aint got shit on a compression test haha.

Im thinking the seals in my turbo were going bad, it overheated, that sent the seals over the edge. Then i put this mystery turbo on and the seals are probably blown right off the bat. The shaft play is more than the turbo i took off the car, although theres no grind noise in spool up.

SO ill keep you updated man.
