Can I ask an even more stupid question? Why are you premixing if you still have your OMP working? Too much oil would reduce the gasoline combustion efficiency.

This is that FC, FWIW.
okay okay, i didnt know you already had part of the money "invested." not that you couldnt get your money back but either way, i know you want to do a run with the rotary. maybe next time, after you find out the light side is a fickle master you will go LS1.
you probably do need block off plates. it was just a thought.

Wait...those two comments are contradicting each other...

If you are pouring out white smoke its probably coolant. Does it smell sweet? Coolant has a sweet smell to it when you burn it (and in liquid form, hence why dogs have a habit of licking it up then dying) Could still be a turbo issue, but is probably an engine issue. Well you have 3 weeks to pull that bitch and rebuild it before Deals gap there is no chance in hell of getting an LS1 in there in time. Hinson is just too slow...

Yeah I was thinking it might be coolant too but it doesn't smell sweet at all. Maybe I just thought it was white, might have been darker. The whole damn engine bay just needs to be swapped out (and no, not with an LS1 Josh, aka Vader!) Well Josh, maybe I'll just be using that money for the PFC to put down on your engine and then scraping together some more for a rebuild kit, but even if I do all that and get it back in it won't be broken in for the Gap. Dammit.

Another thing you may want to consider is the fact that you are running premix now. Maybe the smoke you saw was a light blue instead of white. Also, I don't really know what color premix is when it burns. Stuck apex seal? Maybe. Your turbos aren't really working 100% so wouldn't that make your car run even richer? If that's the case, you are dumping more fuel in there and aren't burning it as efficiently. Incomplete combustion would yield sooty deposits (carbon buildup) which could cause an apex seal to be stuck. Remember these are just ideas for you to think about. I'm not an expert on these cars, but I just like to give people ideas.

On another note.... C sharp... I changed my plugs in the T2 today. Even though I've only put maybe 10K on the engine since it was done a few years ago I figured what the heck, I'm bored and Deals Gap is coming up. Put the new ones in and went for a spin. Damn! Wish I had done that sooner, heck of a difference.

eric, use the seafoam. a stuck seal is most likely (unless you had a boost spike, or fuel starvation) no need for panic yet.
on another, if your corner seals go, you wont be able to tell with a bore-scope. ask me how i know.
don't get stressed. if you really need to do a rebuild we can work something out on mine. i think what would take the longest is getting the irons re-faced (is that something we can do at a local shop?) Mine is already dismantled, so it would be easier (as in it would save us 2-3 hours
i'll call you this afternoon.
