A couple of weeks ago me and my friend pulled out my motor and turbo kit . Transfered trans, intake mani, oil pan, wires etc to the new motor. Put it all in. Hooked up turbo all in about 8 hours. To bad the ****** didnt start.

most of my honda swaps only take anywhere from 5-8 hours... If our LS-Vtecs are put together and ready to drop in, itll take about 10-12 hours if we have to make our shift linkage and ghetto rig the wiring harness and little probs like that... like putting an LS-Vtec into myfriends 97 DX 4 dr civic...

Excessive piston blowby = pressurized crankcase.
Pressurized crankcase = blow oil past the main seal.
