cyl#2 bad, bad oil ring or valve seal??built boosted gsr...
Well i have been having a blue smoke issue since the day i started the car, i pulled the head off and all cylinders look good cross hatches are still there and clean looking no scrapes. Compression was 180 accross and leakdown was in the yellow on the gauge 8-10% leakdown. Now when i pulled the head off cyl#2 intake valves were CLEAN i mean they were still shiny bronze, but the exhaust ones were carboned to hell along with that port. Last night i pulled cyl#2 plug again and the plug was oil fouled and i put a light in the cylinder and oil was covering the top of the piston??? so could this be valve seals or oil ring??
everything was brand new parts installed by "professionals" motor has 500 miles on it, my thing is i didn't think and neither do my freinds that a valve seal would leak that bad, so could a valve seal be the culprit??It would be amazing if thats all it was i can fix that no prob., but im leaning toward an oil ring or sumthin stupid since thats my worse case scenario

Yea PROBALLY is my problem though it sucks cuz there is no way to diagnose what it actually is.
Well i guess ill just have to hope its a valve seal and try and replace them and see what happens if not then looks like ill be re ringing the fucken block again
