So, was driving home and was doing some spirited driving on some curves.

Was going left around a curve and all of a sudden it starts smoking.

It's oil smoke for sure and feels like I lost a couple of cylinders. It smokes when I accelerate or give it more pedal.

170k'ish 5.3 that has had the oil changed about every 4k.

Need some ideas that are budget friendly please.

Lost a ring - Valve Guide - those are my guess's.

Do a compression and leak down test. When you take the plugs out will most likely tell you which cylinders to expect problems from.

I'd rather pull it and throw some cubes at it.

Thoughts/suggestions?

Got about $5k to use.

What would be the chances of that when I was banking that hard left, oil puddled in the passenger head, got past the seals causing the smoke which fouled some plugs?

Still got the knocking however.

Pulled the plugs. The last cylinder on the driver side is the bad one. Spark plug was coated in oil, heavily.

Need some ideas on replacement.

Need to reuse my stock intake and accessories.

No replacement for displacement. Check Thompson Motorsports one of our sponsors.

I would maybe look elsewhere for another builder...
