    You are answering your own questions.. 2% leakdown is what you mean't but explain the air you heard, where was it? Did you pull the dipstick and also the oil cap? No pun man but a p28 is meant for a single cam not a high compression dual cam!! P28 would run lean and cause cylinder temps to sky-rocket, this alone could cause damage to a ring-land.. Not saying that is your problem, I'd look more at venting the block since the valve cover will only help a little.. And get that hooptie tuned!!

    As for the other guys talk, we all list info for others to help, yes I agree with age and wisdom but some know more than others and it can be a 12yr old for that matter...lol, keep it cool guys..

    Later!!

    it was from the oil cap up high not through dip stick! and a p28 is a great ecu hats why im not driving it much till i chip and tune it. i just noticed way more smoke than normal after the build and 500 mile oil change is all and having a shop as well i really cant make all that much time for myself/car and a wife n 3 kids lol. thanks guys for taking time out to help though!

    im no stranger to all this just this problem in particular. my last car was lsv 95 dx hatch with gsr head and had eagle rods probe industries pistons well you know the roster. made 483 on 18psi with a precision turbo and 750cc injectors and 307 at 13psi tuned on crome gold. i wanted to try all motor this time for the challenge of it all. this one pulls awfully hard compared to my first all motor setup with p30s back in 03 tis why im ruling out everything. i hate to pull it all back down running this good but i hate smoke!

    Well, all motor is fun but your not going to make any real power with oem style pistons..lol, go 86x89 with 14:1 and e85.. then you will be in the game.. just some food for thought!!

    Later!!
