Oil temp went crazy to at least 250deg, I stopped right away looked at the dipstick at it was bare, I added a 1/2 qt, still bare, then a 1qt and now it looked beyond full. WTH!! drove 2 blocks to local shop now blue smoke coming out exhaust and massive hesitation at the 2 lights I stopped out. The only mod I've done lately was add an AVO oil catch can. When I got to the shop I went to check the oil dipstick with the car running and I had exhaust puffing out of the dipstick area. Any ideas? The shop has been unable to take a look yet due to some sever weather conditions we had this week. I would also like to add that the last oil change I had was about 2000 miles ago, and that I heard no knocking or mettalic sounds. Also no codes in the stock ECU and the car was idling very rough.

 

sounds like a bad head gasket or even a cracked head

 

I'm leaning towards blown piston ring at this point, I should no more tbhis week.

 

thats possible also. how many miles? are you still under warranty?

 

37K, but there is no way warranty will cover it with a turbo kit and other mods staring at them in the face.

 

yea true wish you luck though

 

Well compression check has been done and #4 is done. Time to figure out the damage now.

 

Comp numbers:

1 182
2 180
3 200
4 10

 

I've got the car over at Rallitek. Sean Sexton is doing the work. (beyond my skill set)You can see more over at their site in the news section including pics. They will be starting a poll shortly between getting all TWE parts or going with an STI shortblock
