The wrong gasket adhesive can cause a cork and rubber pan gasket to slip out, esp. if over tight. Your compression is way low. What kind of oil did you use during break in?

GREAT NEWS GUYS <<<<KNOCK ON WOOD>>>>
I havent had a chance to post with college starting and all but I figured it out. I just replaced the Oil pan gasket about 2 weeks ago and I've put about 500 trouble free miles on it now. Evidently oil was leaking fromt the Oil pan gasket like crazy and burning on the crossover pipe. The gasket failed from my idoacy. Rather than "Weather stripping adhesive" I used "MarHyde Emblem adhesive ! a No NO with gaskets. it got hard and didnt set up good etc... But when i reinstalled the pan I used the correct glue only on the pan. No LEAKS so far!! YES lol pardon my excitment.

It hasnt burnt a bit of oil!! Compression has went up across the board. Numbers are great , 155,156,154,155, the turbo is boosting great. As with most of my promblems I bring to rennlist, they have very simple solutions I'm to dumb to find. Any way thanks guys and thought I'd just let you know..

btw the turbo gets louder with a test pipe , right?
