I was messing around with my boost, late on a cold night, and i turned it up a lil to high. I hit my fuel cut, but this time it felt a lot diffrent. I heard a loud pop, and a bang. I let off, and somthing cought my eye in the mirror. LOTS OF SMOKE! I got the car home, and confirmed it was thick blue smoke. I pulled my plugs out and in the #1 cylinder, the plug was coverd with oil, and when i shined a light down the spark plug hole and there was oil all over the pistion. that was 2 days ago, and now its getting worse. Moral of the story dont rely on the fuel cut.

Now for the question. Im gonna pull the motor, and do all the internals in it. I want to build a 10 sec motor.
1. dose anyone know where to get Ross, or Wiseco pistions at a good price.
2. also Eagle rods at a good price?
3. what kinda of main and rod bearings should i use?
4. why do i have the worst luck with turbo cars? (just kidding)
 
You seem eager to rebuild your motor. I guess that's a good thing.
I just did my 6 bolt ross, eagle, clevite...
You should consider a 2.4l stroker. Not that much more.
