Morning, everyone,

Here is the condition of the car last night:

its still easy to start, oil pressure and negative vacuum are good, no knocking noise at all.

Im rebuilding the motor due to excessive oil consumption, and car starts to have white smoke from oil cap since I installed HKS BOV and start to holding 1.5 bar boost all the way to redline. Ringland failure for sure, as I admitted this would happened in earlier post.

I realise how this situation could damage his reputation further in this forum. BUT Mao's suggestion fits my understanding in engineering and info from internet. He goes such an extent for customers, which is what i like.

Rebuild will be Manley piston, maybe rods, ACL bearing, ARP headstuds, Killerb pickup, phenolic spacer, MLS headgasket, E85 with flex fuel sensor.

Good day, fellow Pwrwers
