OK so the Turbo and possibly some spirited driving :-) may have taken it's toll on the engine as evident by the smoke trail which looked more like crop dusting!!! Soooooooooooooooo, the engine had to be rebuilt. So rebuilding the entire valve body with new springs, valves, seals, gaskets etc. I've also decided to beef up some areas with new ARAIS low compression pistons, rings, seals, Brian Crower Pro Series Connecting Rods, Cosworth High Performance Rod Bearings, Cometic head gaskets, ARP head bolt kit, new oil pressure switch, gates belts, and Autolite XP Iridum plugs.
Special thanks to Grasshopper and Tommy (owner of 4T's garage in California, Maryland) for a great VQ rebuild.
Getting things cleaned up and doing attention to detail items now that the rebuild is complete
