well.... I think my most affordable option right now is to do a head swap to my car. It will cure my oil burning problem for now and also gain some horsepower... win win. Can't be supercharged now, but who says I can't once I'm done with school?

I found this kit and think it's a great deal. My bottom end has about 145-150 psi compression on all cylinders... which is good. I have no blowby either. The only time it smokes is after the engine is to operating temperature (IE oil is thinnest) and when the car is idling, or after idling. These are the exact symptoms of bad valve seals.
So it's time to do a PI swap. I can totally do this, as it's completely within my relm of mechanical ability. One question though, where can I buy a thicker head gasket to retain near stock compression... I want to continue to run regular fuel.
Thanks all in advance
peace
