I have an 05 GT with lots of upgrades, and I'm leaking oil from every gasket imaginable after a track day at VIR. It appears I have blow by on cylinders 1 and 2.
I have an extensive list of mods that include:
Livernois 3V stroker rotating assembly w/ .030 over pistons at 11:1 compression
Livernois Stage 3 N/A cams
Livernois Stage 3 heads w/ over sized valves
Phase locks
ARP head studs
FRPP etched valve covers
94mm head gaskets
C&L Racer intake
C&L Aluminum intake manifold
FRPP stock sized throttle body
JBA long tube headers 1 5/8" primaries w/ 3" collectors
JBA catted shorty H-pipe
Roush Extreme Performance exhaust
FRPP Cobra dual fuel pump
BBK high flow aluminum fuel rail kit
FRPP EV6 injectors - 80 lb./hr. (I know this is overkill for my current setup)
Meziere electric water pump
Mishomoto high capacity performance radiator (have the low profile fans, but not installed)
Mishomoto oil cooler kit
Steeda underdrive pulley system
RAM twin-disc clutch
My block is not sleeved, which, I believe, is at the core of the problem. Crank and pistons are "rated" to 1000hp. Car is a weekender with three HPDE's per year. No 1/4 mile trips in my future. It's a corner carver, and I'd love to target the Optima Street Car Challenge as my build goal.
I'll leave the rebuild route open to suggestions. Back as is with sleeves? New block, or machine existing? Power adder? Centrifugal or intake mount S/C? Turbos? Meth?
I must run cats in my area, so I want to stay with 93 octane. Other than that...
Here's your blank canvas...
