I now have 2500 miles on the car so break in should have happened. I will give you a call to discuss. But, for everyone else where does this oil go? There is no pressure build up that I can tell, no blow by and there is no smoke. I did notice that the pvc hose seems abit oily at the valve, but that would account for only a couple drops. Engine bay is impeccable, no leaks....nothing. Just can't figure this out. But, the car hauls ass and has a lot of torque. So, anyone who has had this problem let me know. |
Are you sure there is NO smoke at all? After driving it for 20 minutes or so until it is full warmed up, let it sit for 10 and restart it observing very carefully for smoke. I'll bet you see some. Do not examine only on a cold start. Furthermore, assuming you have side pipes, drive on the street at night and observe your exhaust as it hits the headlights and such of cars idling near you or as you drive away.
What heads does your car have?
