Back from the desert!!!!!
Well I got back about 3 days ago. I knew I was smoking and burning oil when I was home on leave so when I got here I did a compression test and a leak detection test. All of the cyl read 160ft lbs except #3 which read 90ft lbs[:@]. I put a little oil on the piston and it read 160ft lbs[:@]. Damn piston rings. Then I pressurised the cyl and was able to hear the air coming out of the PCV system [:@]. That confirmed it damn piston rings. So it looks like I'll be calling VT engines tomorrow.
Already started the teardown when I finish I will try to do a nice write up on pulling the engine and reinstalling a new one.
All in all it is great to be home.

RE: Back from the desert!!!!!
Thanks
Im geting the Vt GT "SR" shortblock with flat top pistons (11.2 compression ratio) and VT stage II cams. I will be porting and polishing my heads while I'm waiting for the shortblock. Oh and I'm gonna put a cool blue bottle in the trunk. I hope the cobra's can get used to looking at my tail lights.
