I have on a SB2.2, but chances are you'll have to give up something, whether it's space or a component on 03/04.

Ow. I'd love a seat in the Army's Sniper School, but not eligible. Love distance shooting, though. Hopefully one of these years I'll find myself in McMilllin's Warfare course.

Let me step back and say, if this were any other motor, most in this thread would offer our condolences and wish Dover well. While not bulletproof, these engines are strong. Don't take anything posted as an attack towards any of your skill sets. The horse looks like it is walking in front of the carriage again, let us know how everything turns out. Since this is a turbo build, the source of the crankcase vacuum would have to be sourced on the intake side, pre-turbo, or post turbo, exhaust. Not only that, but both methods have to be routed to create a venturi effect, because of minimal to no vacuum between the filter and turbo inlet / exhaust track (usually includes a 1 way valve). The caveat, in the intake method, can be the contamination of the MAF with oil, which is bad, mkayyyyyyyyyy. On the other hand, sending oil into the exhaust doesn't smell/look pretty either -- at least it will take longer to rust. If it becomes a problem you could use an electric pump from the LT1 motors, on a Hobbs switch to pull vacuum when in boost. They usually provide about 2" of vacuum -- not much to help with HP, but you won't have any oil problems. If plumbed with a catch can that’s sump is plumbed to oil dipstick spout to allow drain back, you have a care free, closed loop system.

Solid, factual numbers? Like the results from this test? Wideband Shootout Bending numbers with science is funnnnnnn!

Having recently test driven a few E46s...i will say they are light years ahead of the E36s. Slick car, needs some suspension work, pronto.

So this morning, I wake up and try to make amends with Amir.....unsuccessfully.... http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/509/newbitmapimage9.png

Sometimes Pider sits in his cage and looks at you.....in ways.......well...you can tell what's on his mind... http://img140.imageshack.us/img140/7961/newbitmapimage14.png

Not at all.

Sometimes, shithea-er, I mean Daxx, well, just look at the god damn picture... http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4482/newbitmapimage6.png

and here is again, doing his thing... http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/8036/newbitmapimage12y.png

Our fish, well, he doesn't do much... http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/4578/newbitmapimage13.png

Pider, the tarantula, is pretty chill. I don't do much other then watch him eat crickets and check to see if he's still in the cage. I have a feeling he's a shady bastard. http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4987/newbitmapimage11.png

Amir....our cockatiel, well....i would say shes a lovely bird but I'll be straight....she hates...everything. So much hate for such a little creature. Fuck me. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4770/newbitmapimage8r.png

Belle, our french bulldog or pig, we can't tell what she is, has the most overpowerd digestive system. Her stink to weight ratio is high, very high, ungodly high. She's normally a very fun dog, but sometimes...well....just look at the picture. http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/8981/newbitmapimage4g.png

DAX, often called, DEX, touch it, dickhead, shithead,and everything else you could call a rat terror loves to pee, on everything, including himself. Yes,we know it is submissive, and no, we don't beat him for it.......usually. http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/486/newbitmapimage3w.png

11B, the queen of battle (infantry)

Are you a sniper, Matt?

We're just trying to help you, queen of battle. Fixing a problem and finding the solution are two different things - just keep that in mind before you spend anything. What if the rings weren't the source of the excess blow-by? What if the the compressor seal(s) are leaking pressure through the oil return into the crankcase? Brian did mention some blue smoke, an early sign of oil in the exhaust. I think calling "witch" without, at minimum, a compression check isn't a very logical idea.

Early E36 3 series are better for boost. Not uncommon to see 500-700whp on stock blocks with headstuds and a thicker headgasket.

No, I'm alot of things but white trash isn't one of them. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/8200/merkur11a.jpg

If there was no damage to the plug -- what was the root cause of the ring failure? I don't think many people will buy "boost" as the answer.

The owner of the place looked at me, I held up the receipt with "all sales final" stamped on it, and left with $200.

I'm on the WTF train as well... Bold has me worried. If it is melted, there's at least piston damage if that much heat made it to the plug.
