Default Oil Burning? Gaskets giving out?

Hey ,

everyone well i just resealed my intire engine basically and i even had a head job done. I have 190 down all cylinders but for some reason i am having insane oil pressure, the new seals on the crank shaft gave out completly, and so much oil build up that 2 of my plugs went out as well, i am burning insane clouds of oil and leaking pretty bad. I have a greddy kit boosting 5 pounds, the leak usually starts once i am stopped.

Any advice?? PLEASE HELP

Thank you!

I am going to put about as much time and effort into answering this post as you put into describing your problem to us:

You should probably...

...damn, I just ran out of time and effort.

Check your turbonator shaft for play. Use English next time you post.

It sounds like you failed at "resealing the intire engine"

Crank seals installed backwards? RTV plugging oil gallery? How many pounds of pressure is "insane"?

2 fouled plugs and clouds of smoke? Did you re-install valve stem seals? Did you install them correctly?

Did you replace the PCV valve or leave it out? Did you install it backwards?

Do you have a camera? Can you take some nudes of your sister for us? Or pictures of your engine compartment if nothing else...

You should have focused more on "resealing your intire engine" and less on getting a head job, therein lies your problem.

I did reseal the intire engine i had every gasket change, supposedly what the shop said was that there is corrrosion in the cylinder walls and lil gaps that are causing the blow back. they said its better if i just buy a new engine?

It sounds pretty obvious that you didn't do this yourself. So if the engine isn't actually "sealed" then why aren't you bitching at the shop that did the work to make it right?

No the engine did get resealed i witness them do it, the problem is the seals are giving out in a matter of a week or two, and its supposedly caused by back pressure

Just because the shop did the work does not mean they did it properly. Install a real pressure gauge and report back with what "insane" pressures are.
