he never said if he's checked the coolant or oil. you could have a head gasket leak, still have plenty of power and just burn the coolant off leaking in the cylinder. white smoke is coolant, and it is probably just a slight leak.

plus with him having the pistons out, a head gasket seems the best bet.

funny thing dave, i finally got ahold of jarrad and we were talking about my setup and my boost levels. he was giving me warning about me detroying my rings if i went any higher in my boos level. it would be crazy if this is what happened to your car.

ps. jarrad is the man. he is taking care of the injector problem for me
