So I had some issues with smoking after idling for a bit so I did a comp test and had 90 across the board dry and wet so I decided to yank the head. I found some leaky valves and the composite headgasket was a mess, which was what I thought. I figured while I was here I would fresh up the bottom end, cylinder walls looked ok, nothing a hone wouldn't fix. I pulled the TC and dropped the oil pan, pulled the pistons and rods to check everything then the crank girdle. FML! I have had some of the signs, clutch issues on hard left turns, rpm drop when clutch is engaged etc but always chalked it up to a TOB or hydraulic issue but became more convinced it was CW as time went by. I bought the car last year and have only put on 800 - 1k miles so the previous maintenance and such is a mystery. This is my 5th dsm but first bout with CW. ☹ Guess I'm starting a 6 bolt build. Just wanted to share my story. Pics attached.....
