I could be wrong, but it sure sounds that way to me.

Maybe someone that does this for a living will chime in. But to fix that on my car, that is what I had to change. Also I was buring oil fast. 1qt pre 1000 miles before it started.

I think this is the more likely scenerio. Can we get a list of your modifications?

Thanks,
