Rob-

Do a leak down and/or compression test for sure before you tear into that car. You're burning a fair amount of oil, but it doesn't look like it's an insane amount of oil... Every engine I've blown (which is several from my drag racing days) would fog the area in no time (granted there was actual holes in pistons in those cases)....

How does the car run? Are you down on power? I know ou mentioned limped home, but was that due to loss of power or anxiety about causing damage?

Not saying anything here in particular, but some further diagnoses should be done given the way the vid looks....

Best of luck,

Phil
