When it rains, it pours. Damn blue smoke.

You just got your X, damn that sucks!

Yep. I knew I had to put a decent amount into it. This wasn't part of the plan though. And it's a daily driver too, so me taking it out for a couple of weeks to do the work likely won't happen. I'll see what the indy says for timing and costs. It won't be pretty.

No it's DEFINITELY not pretty...mine told me he would have to send the heads out for rebuilding. Whole job would be around $6000. Then he suggested thicker oil and an additive to swell the seals. It is a bit better - still smokes some after a long idle but no other time. I will get the additive name - it's on the work order (if I can read his handwriting)...
