not sure it's worth dragging it across the country and spending maybe tens of thousands in repairs honestly.

My point exactly^



I wish it were that simple..Beleive me I was already looking into what trip would be shorter Haibeck or SGC..They are both 14+ hrs away..From what I'm understanding,if it were valve seals they can't be done on this particular motor without pulling it out of the car correct?That's gotta be a few grand alone if I'm paying someone..Point is if the motor has to be pulled,it would make more sense to me to fully rebuild if the motor is questionable..If I had the time I would attempt it myself..I'm very sure there are multiple guys on this forum that would fix this in no time if it turns out it needs valve seals..Just out of curiosity,what's Pete get for a rebuild?

Kevin-It's the Fidanza flywheel you hear..It's amplified by the camera..It's not as loud in person..The motor has no bad noise in it..Check it out¥¥¥

yep thats a Fidanza AKA the Rock Crusher

Could be valve stem seals and/or rings. How many miles on the motor?

You are pulling the dipstick and confirming mega oil consumpton right? Just ruleing out injectors dumping fuel

As stated in previous threads..Vette Docs..Car was built in 2003..Yes..Car is burning about 1/2 qt in a couple hundred miles according to dipstick and smoke.Injectors are brand new FIC stainless units..Oil/Crankcase has absolutely no smell of fuel at all.However it could be totally thinned out as the car was running all winter in 20dg weather and a ton of warmup/idle time..I may do a Castrol.Syntec 20/50 oil change and see what I get..I doubt that's the answer though..

Gold-Car had 200+ compression in every slug..Still possible rings?

Mark,

Do you happen to know the sizes and backspacing on the TT wheels on your car?
