Are you running a catch can? or are you venting to open atmosphere?

coz your oil is probably just blowing out of your crank case ventilation holes. If you have a catch can hooked up, you'll see how much oil has come out of your ventilation holes.

I'm thinkin your over reacting on this whole situation. Your compression numbers are fine. I went through a quart of oil at the track over the weekend, it blew out my crank case ventilation. Boosted hondas are known for haveing some blow-by.

My car smokes too, until it's warmed up and the pistons have expanded to their correct tolaranced. I usually start my car and let it warm up in the driveway until the coolant temp gauge is up to operating level, then after i get going down the street a mile later, it's all cleared up. It's the nature of the forged motor. Eric's does the same thing, as well as others that i've seen and built. I've got 2 motor motors almost ready to be dropped into vehicles in the next few weeks and they will do the same thing.
