so were out street tuning my car after i replaced the pistons and rings. So its also in the break in period. After doing a 5th gear pull to about 7K the car first started to back fire then smoke poured into my cabin area. Pop the hood at a gas station and its pouring out of my catch can. wtf, are my rings already toast?
No coolant in the oil, and vice versa. Is 7000rpm too high to go in the break in period? Anyone with any ideas?

 

You took it to 7k one your first time out??? Umm YEAH, tear it back apart

 

Your Engine Went....KABOOM....

I second that

not that I did it or anything. but a whole in the feed line can cause some smoke...

 

^^ but not out of the catch can, i think

 

my break in period is still going on from the summer, i don't go above 4500 still.

 

awfully long time. if you baby it like that, the rings will never seat properly, at least thats what i heard

one that is often learned the hard way too, so sad

 

I do agree on the lack of tune, when tuning don't take it for a fun run before tunning it. Tune it in stages, so this doesn't happen, especially in 5th gear!

 

yea, wot in 5th gear heak soaks so much ****. egt's go ^^^^^^^^^
