I agree. I don't think the rings are the problem. The rings should be seated properly and I highly doubt the pvc would burn THAT much oil. AED has done enough builds to know how to seat rings properly. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the valvetrain.

You mean seals? If it were the seats it wouldn't have an oil consumption issue, it'd more than likely have a misfire. I personally am thinking its the valve seals

That is pretty much confirmed at this point. Compression is excellent across all 8 cylinders. Its looking like a valvetrain issue on the driver side bank. As we originally speculated, the most likely suspect is a valve seal.

Plus, let's remember, AED didn't build the motor, Ford Racing did.
At this point, it's all speculation...I just hope Terence gets taken care of regardless of who's fault it is....
and props to Dave for being a stand-up guy and getting Terence towed...

Yeah fellas the car is in good shape. No damage to the bottom end or bad rings. The machine shop that installed the seals messed up on one of them and oil started to get through into the cylinder. Luckily Daniel had me check the oil and it was reading right at the bottom of the dipstick so we caught it before anything bad happened. Not a problem AED created or could of forseen. Its on the shop that machined the heads and installed the seals. Should have it back shortly
The car runs a fires fine, but its not worth trying to drive home and damage something. Big thanks to Dave and the wife for our double date we had in the Raptor on the way home

Based on the looks from the drive home, there are a ton of people who made trips to the chiropractor for neck injuries.

Guides are completely wiped out. I've never seen anything like it.
Heads are back at the machine shop and they will be trying to figure out what caused this to happen.
Regardless if our machinist steps up and takes care of the problem at no charge or not, T will not have a bill at AED. I will take care of everything.
The issue will be resolved and T's ride will be back on the road as soon as possible.
