Default I think I hurt it bad

This what the car has on it

2003 Z06
A&A D1SC 6 rib / 4.10 Pulley
LGM Longtube Pros w/hi flo cats
B&B Bullets
ECS Dual Nozzle Meth Kit
Kenne Bell Boosta Pump
Racetronix harness
60# Injectors

Put it on the dyno and made 580rwhp / 555 rwhp @ 5600rpm

One the first pass, oil dip blew out of it holder.

PCV system is set up like Procharger suggests

Oil pressure sensor failed (read 0 psi)

Got the car towed to my house since I didnt want to take anymore chances of being broke on side of the road.

The next morning fire her up, Got my oil pressure back 40 lbs, runs good....BUT smokes little on idle White / Blue smoke. (OIL)

Take out my plugs, and replace them



The car is tuned real FAT (rich)

The set of plugs on the bottom represent the drivers side. in the order front to rear. The top set is the passenger side, front to rear.

The bottom set / last two plugs had oil on them with the ceramic piece around the electrode cracked off and free spinning.

car idles fine,

I take the oil cap off (I have a breather), and no smoke.

I put my hand over the oil fill neck, and it puts out some blow by, and it pulls vaccuum when I put my hand completely over the oil fill neck.

I just ordered the catch can / check valve, but I might have a valve seat issue or a ring / ringland issue.

I'm trailering the car back with me to Maryland next week, but it looks like I'll be going forged.

Opinions?

I think you were well over the line on what a stock bottom end could handle. My guess is you have a broken piston ringland or two (probably # 7 and/ or 5). Time to forge her and up the boost!

Check the breather hat on the procharger... It may have pulled some oil in... Also check the tb... If it did then i wouldn't worry so much... If there's no oil in there then I would say that your rings or valve seals are gone... Good luck man...I hope that it works out for you..

Next time do not use platinum plugs. You want a cold standard style plug when making that much power.

Platinum Plug's and boost do not mix very well!!!!Tr6-7-8 is what you want!
