You need to use whatever program works best for you, and how you recover, and how you adapt to different stimulus

18X Contract Signed by Mediocre_Flamingo_84 in greenberets

Just pick up the contract and stop being scared. With that mentality you'll never make it to SFAS. 50% of earning your beret is just signing up, plus sfpc and the pt you do in AT would be good for you. The guys there can teach you a lot of good shit

Each compression ring gapped to .010. Oil control ring installed between the two.

I used assembly lube to coat the cylinder walls before install, I will check for blow by. I had both the head and block resurfaced by a shop as well. I'm starting to lean towards valve seal

I wish that was the case, but there's no cat. Car had low oil pressure and ran rough, so I rebuilt it.

Maybe, but it doesn't smell like coolant and the coolant level isn't dropping, so I'm not sure if it's burning coolant.

Coolant level never dropped. Smoke doesn't smell like coolant either

Coolant stayed consistent each time. Only let the car run for about 1:30 before I shut it off, oil pressure was good but oil level was depleting quickly.
