Clutch is not slipping and yes the
oil filter was cut open and no bearing material was found. Compression test results are 1-150lb, 2-160lb, 3-160lb, 4-160lb, 5-155lb, 6-160lb, 7-162lb, 8-160lb cranking with a brand new optima red top. I spoke to the engine shop and they said it should be 175-180lb per cylinder and that the last tuner back in 09 must have simply tuned the car too rich and this is a result of washing the rings. I've been advised if I keep the
oil level correct it will be fine to drive it the remainder of the year before having it fixed. It does use
oil but I have never seen smoke from the side pipe until this past dyno visit...I only noticed a tiny bit of dark smoke under hard throttle with AFR being 12.5. Do you agree? I'm bummed but look at this glass half full with an opportunity to freshen the motor and make changes
