Car is growing on me. Going to put it in Hailey's name when she comes home. Cheaper insurance.
Still working on my car. Rechecked valve clearances. All were good except one. And that one was loose last time anyways. Have some extra big shims. So I'm gonna bring one of those into work and have one of the machinists knock a few thou off it.
I think my next event is going to be the Packwood tour. My car is in no way prepped. But it should be fun and a good time.
Also working on getting some aero. Splitter acquired. And probably have a wing.
Also need a real muffler for Laguna. Friday is a 92db day.
If the car still smokes at idle I'll just always drive hard. No issues. #flatout.

There was a lot of residue in the manifold. But old residue. So I don't think it was the issue.
No oil in the turbo either.
Piston #4 looked "wet" in my shitty boroscope. But thats so hard to tell. I really need a source with a good boroscope.

Probably rings is my guess. I wouldn't tear it down just for that unless it's really bothering you though. I would guess whoever honed it didn't hone it right for your rings, but that's a guess from my end. You can look down and see a piston with a small flashlight and your eyes, and see if you see oil. If so, and valves are good, rings.
