2000silverbullet is dead.
2000silverbullet is dead. Well I had a feeling that something was wrong; so I took my car for a spin and nailed it for a while 
and noticed some smoke. I drove back home and the dipstick was pushed out and oil was dripping from the air filter on valve cover. I let the car cool down for 2 hours and started it back up with the valve cover plug removed and it was pouring smoke out of it. If you were next door, it looked like my garage was on fire from all the smoke pouring from the valve cover. 
I have been burning around 3 quarts of oil every 5k miles. Well now I need to fix this. Anyone want to give me some advice on where to start? What do I rebuild? What do I need? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
This really hurts!

If its jugging at idle and do the old chimney routine then the ring lands are probably shot. Id pull the heads and see how the pistons look. If there gone then id save up and go with.

Verdad Gallardo What do you mean by te smallest? The crank pulley was a 7.25 and blower pulley was a 4.00. I think the 4.00 is the biggest blower pulley SDCE offers. Is that what you needed?
LPE has short blocks ready to ship for $2095. Best buy I know of.

Call Riechard racing and see how big they can get. I know there pulleys are $160 but id they make a 4.1" or a 4.25" pulley that would help alot of people out..... IMO 10lbs is to much for a stock motor.... ie riglands and pistons.

How in the world did you get 10 pounds with the 4 pulley
I have that pulley and I'm only doing 6 pounds and all I have is a stock motor and headers

Pulley size doesn't determine how much boost you will run. All cars are not the same. I have no idea as to how I did it, I just did??? 10 psi is bad for a stock LS1. I'm going to run a CR check later this weekend and see bad news I'm sure. I can't wait to get a new motor and kick some serious *** now! I won't have all funds till tax time, but uncle scam will provide some HP!
