  1. That’s what I’m thinking. It runs great still so I’m not super worried Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. Cyl1:101 Cyl2:103 Cyl3:105 Cyl4:102 Wet they are all in the low 160’s. This points to ringland failure These numbers are quite low. Measured after idling at 185 degrees. My question: This is the stock motor with 162,000 miles. Runs amazing tuned on 19psi and 93. Uses about a quart every 1000 miles and has blowby but not smokey blow by. Just a decent out of air coming out of the fill tube. Is this overly concerning? Car has been burning oil at this rate since I bought it 22,000 miles ago. Should I be looking at new shortblocks?

  3. I’m speed density tuned on vf40. I have all the supporting mods like EBCS ect. Yesterday on the highway I did a 4th gear pull and was slipping my Exedy stage 2 clutch. I’m street tuned so I don’t know how much torque I’m making. What’s usually the power ceiling on a stock turbo. Curious since my clutch is rated for 350+ wheel torque Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I guess it’s a moot point. I wouldn’t run the oil after machining the heads for more than 1000 miles.
  5. Price is about what I payed. That is a great labor rate. Mine was 95$/hr. Like others mentioned make sure the heads are done by a machine shop. It’s very important or you won’t get another 100k out of those headgaskets. Also, synthetic blend? I’d ask for proper synthetic for that price.
