[QUOTE="Rygy04, post: 11952456, member: 132111"] So my stock eaton went bad last week (bearings in the snout) so I found a used one with less miles on it. My car only has 37k and only about 1000 miles with the 2.8 pulley and i found it odd the SC went out but hey.... My tuner did most of the swap for me and he called me down today to finish the job and we found oil in the throttle body and in the supercharger housing and almost all the way to the intake filter. Needless to say that is not right. The car has been idling a little rough and we replaced the PCV system when I did by first build just a few months ago. I bought it bone-stock a few more months ago. Other then that the car runs really good and is still making very good power. I have the car back together now and it is running very well. I am a little worried about the oil we found in the intake. My tuner thinks the motor is on its last leg and the piston rings are scorched on # 7 and #8 which is causing boost blow by and oil blow by. The car also does the puff of blue smoke once in a while when it is cold, but not always. I know this to be a more common issue just from researching this forum and am wondering if the motor truly is on its last leg...? If there continues to be oil build up in the intake but the car runs strong, It boggles my mind..? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else finding oil in there intake? [/QUOTE]
