Ok I swapped out my motor a few months ago to a K24a2 with boost. Car was running great up until today, I was doing a 2500rpm-6000rpm pull datalogging it and everything looked good, I pushed in the clutch and pulled the car over and it was dead.
I tried to restart it and was able to start it while giving it a bit of gas but now I have smoke coming out of the breather hole on the valve cover.
I thought it was the pvc valve (best case scenario) but it wasn't. I have pulled the valve cover and everything looked good and tight. I pulled the plugs and they all looked good. I checked the oil and it is still the color of new oil. Drained the coolant and its not contaminated with oil. So I got down to doing a compression test and this is where I found a problem cylinder #1-100psi #2-180 psi #3-90psi #4-90psi. Now these cylinders all hold pressure for 30 minutes each. Any ideas what it is? I know its gonna be bad but how bad is the question. I'm pulling the motor right now so I should be able to get the head off in the next few days to take a better look.
I have had a tuner look at the datalogs and he didn't see anything wrong even at the time when it happened. Any Idea's?
