Hey guys, this is not LS1 but definately juice related


I was doing some impromtu racing this weekend with my camaro....heres the rest

running a 150 shot, my dumbass got 2 cars behind off the jump and forgot to shift out of second until I felt the car fall on it's face (read valve float).

end of the run- smoke coming from under the hood.

dipstick blew out and oiled the headers

pcv blew out and now a steady stream of oil smoke is coming out of the breather hole.

car runs fine

at first I was thinking it ate the rings but now I'm wondering if maybe it's a head gasket issue. I didn't hear any detonation (for whatever it's worth).

what do you guys think??

thanks for looking, Nick

ps- I won

well, at least you won.

Do a compresion check and a leak down.

I'd guess its not a head gasket, because everytime I've blown one, I got crazy knock from crossfiring or antifreeze leaking.

would the results of a compression/leakdown test help me narrow down a broken ring or headgasket?

my concern is my work area is not exactly optimum. A head gasket I could do, but I don't have the ability to pull the motor right now...

anybody ever had a head gasket blow straight to the oil galley?

thanks 860,

Nick

Never seen it, but I'm not saying it couldn't happen. Maybe someone else could chime in who has.
