So why is my car pouring smoke out like crazy when i get over 6k and when in boost. It is not fuel it's oil and is horrible. It's all the sudden started doing this. I've got my left valve cover closed, right has a breather and hose hooked to the inlet of air filter, i unhooked it and it still does it. I have my pvc hooked up to a one way valve so it is not suposed to "charge" the crankcase... this is crazy anyone ever dealt with this?????????????

No its not the stock bottom end but has been to hell n back on this build its stock rods, crank n forged pistons... if it were rings or valve seals it will foul that holes plug, sucking oil??? Maybe i'm wondering if its coming through the pcv system. This may take some time to figure out.

I should be safe unless my car is putting down more than others its got all long tubes a hot cam n roller rockers 50lb injectors 12lbs. My right header is oil soaked on the outside as well as the starter... this smells like burned oil not burning oil in a combustion chamber if that makes sense

Well shooting oil onto the headers will cause it to burn. Obviously with higher RPM higher pressures inside the engine cause more oil to shoot out cause more smoke at higher RPM.
Is the smoke coming out the tail pipe?
If its coming from the engine bay look for an oil leak.

is it comming out of the tail pipe or out of the engine bay? if the header i sock of oil im guessing out of the engine bay. if so check the valve covers. or pcv valve thats the spot that will get oil on the headers. it sound earlier that it was coming out of the tail pipes? do you have ventilation on the valvecovers/ breathers/ catch can?

I thought it was my tailpipe but not so sure now. Its defanantly got oil all over the headers and has a leak just gotta find it. Thanks guys you all are correct it must be the dipstick, valve cover or where? It has no catch can but has a breather along with a one way valve in my pcv line which is hooked up
