if youre leaking oil into the bay, and smoking out the rear, then its most likely a head gasket... the reason for the putting is that when the engine was pressurized and you shut it off.... the antifreeze flowed into the cyliners.... after a mile or so, it should have burned off and ran fine...

My 2c worth:
Symptomatic of brake fluid from the vacuum line being sucked into motor.
Check to see if your brake fluid has dissappeared.

Try a leakdown test too. Sounds like you chunked a piston.

Could be a piston ring. I melted the rings in 2 pistons in my EP and scored the cylinder walls, just hope it isn't that. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you since i know how much work is involved.

Can you say three months without my car??? ....and counting...


*sigh*

It was a stock bottom end and the boost was running on what ever the e-manage was set to, which i think was 6psi. Supposedly the car could run on stock internals... it might've been a bad judgement call on my part for letting the person install it that i did... ...but i thought they knew what they were doing...that was some $3000 mistake (shaking head in disgust)

Sorry to hear that man. I'd check your headgasket before you go tearing everything apart.

Forget the B16 block, get an LS block.
