Okay, today I got the car tuned. They said they tuned the car to 13:1 a/f. I had about 80% engine oil. When I got the car back, the car felt really boggy and bad, and I later found out my cylinder 4 spark plug had fouled up. I go change my spark plug, drive under 50KM and i get home, cylinder 4 spark plug is fouled again.
NO ENGINE OIL or atleast bone dry, had to put in 2.25-2.5 bottles of non detergent oil.

Driving impressions:
1)Car revs extremely slowly.
2)Smoke keeps coming out like crazy like a chimney from my exhaust even when it is warmed up (never did this before)
3)When I gas or shift gears, it sounds like a hissing noise like something is leaking. Sounds likea hose is watering the ground.
4)I hear popping noises occasionally
5)Car idles at 800 (which im happy with)

I have now driven 1 to maybe 2 tanks of gas, and i guess my rings still have not seated. What is going on, and what do i need to do? I guess the tune ain't as accurate? but still, what the heck...

They did full throttle and idle tunning, but yet to really work on partial. But still, this aint normal at all.

so what color is the smoke?
your getting oil in that cyl?

 

Does your coolant level go down as well?

 

before the tune the smoke was blue, now im not too sure

no the coolant level doesn't really seem to change, teh reservoir is always full

 

What process did you use to break in the motor?

 

broke it in hard, and I have confirmed it is blue smoke...
blown headgasket?
