have you checked the intercooler? not sure how your end tanks are situated but its possible that with you babying it oil has filled the ic and did not move up to the motor due to not a lot of air flow. as far as bent rods.. i dunno

 

either you filled up your ic,blew it out the exhaust, never filled it up to proper level or have a bad oil leak that should be easily found by just looking. oil just aint gonna vanish without a trace...

 

If it were pumping oil into the combustion chamber you WOULD know it. It would have been smoking like a FREIGHT train.

 

Earth motors as in jimmy voyles?

 

yeah. you from around here? also yeah, the intercooler. i never thought of that. its mounted behind the plastic sheild thiing on the bottom of the bumper, but we cut out pretty good size air holes to get more air to it. so idk if thats the problem. im about to go get the truck and try it again in a few hours. lets hope for the best

 

update?

 

i think he meant the oil might be in the intercooler
