how hard to pull engine?
how hard to pull engine? My TA is a 2000 WS6 6spd and it seems to burn oil. I thought about putting new rings and maybe a cam. Is it a pain in the *** to pull the engine?

if it was me i would do a cam and spring change and while i was doing the springs i would change the seals on the valves cause they could be leaking
and if it still persist i would bebuild the motor

Verdad Gallardo doesn't it have low miles to need a rebuild? I don't understand why it smokes like it does. I don't have any cats but my C5 doesn't either. It will smoke some but it is more black. And I know the vette doesn't use any oil. I changed the oil in the TA about 250 miles ago and so far it's still full. Maybe the smoke is just scaring me.

Pull your Throttle Body off and look inside the intake manifold. If its all covered in oil, you've found your issue. Get a catch can or convert to breather filters to stop the oil consumption/smoking.

you got headers? mac wrote something here while back that at high rpm the headers create a vaccum and if you have weak valve stem seals namely on 853 heads that it would cause a lot of blue smoke and oil consumption thats what i have been told is wrong with mine an dim changing my valve stem seals.
