Default CX horsepower question

Lets say we have a 70hp cx motor. Then flood one cyliner with oil, blow a headgasket, and lose a quart of oil every 100 miles. Approximately how much hp do you think that motor is making now?

I'd say 50 too. Mine got so bad, that it spit out white smoke, and I need four quarts of oil every time I fill up. Lucky I work at a dealership where oil flows from the ceiling!!! We cx owners who buy these slugs before we have a motor in our garages are brave. Such a depressing motor, but mine has taken a beating.

Yea, hahahaha on the way home to OSU Sunday night I had to pull over to the side of the highway twice because my car likes to run on 2 cylinder's every once in a while. I'm going to be generous with my estimate of my motor's power when I say 55-60 for me. I think that I need new Piston Rings, New Headgasket, pretty much a new motor. I burn about 2-3 quarts every 200 miles.

Id guess like 43.2hp
