Well I think the talon is going to be down for awhile again.
Got home and got the catch can all installed and started the car for a little while to see how it would react to the catch can system and it was just still smoking a lot. It got up to operating temp and then randomly died. After it shut off I heard a hissing noise and followed the sound to the dipstick. I wiggled it and the hissing cut in and out a few times so I pulled the dipstick to find what looks like coolant and oil mixed. I checked the muffler at the back as well and again saw the same thing.
I pulled the catch can and saw nothing inside of it but I THINK it safe to say that the smoking, combined with the nasty why gunk, that the head gasket popped.
How? I'm not sure. I'll attach the log from the drive to work yesterday morning, when it spit out all the oil. There so many things here that I feel like play a roll. One is I don't think since I've had the car that the rings were seated/ sealing properly because of how the engine was kept with coolant in the cylinders. I think they gunked up the rings and that caused alot of blowby and crankcase pressure.
I didn't hit anything over 3lbs of boost in that log (I was trying to load up the engine and get some data), but it was still pulling some timing. 10° in some spots even. That 2500-3500 .6-.9 load area doesn't like that high of timing I guess.
I'll verify this with a compression test but right now I need to get some stuff paid off before I can rebuild it.
My plans are to pull the motor, and build it and finish building the head as well.
I'm thinking:
Weisco extreme HD pistons
Manly 22mm h-tuff rods
Kiggly girdle
Arp main studs
GSC S3 cams
Kiggly street behives
Jmfab street intake manifold
Balance shaft delete
Straight cut oil pump gears (if I can find em)
