Default blow by question!
i have an 01 z06 with cam and heads and while going on the dyno it was blowing alot of smoke out the tailpipes we figure its the rings giving out but the car only has 10000 miles on it 4 of which are from me. also while on the dyno the car dopped 35hp at about 5500rpm and then shot up at around 5800 and leveled back out. any ideas as to the problem would be much apreciated!
