    Originally posted by jayfotos Wow, is this a common thing to happen? Now I'm a bit nervous....I got 34k on mine, about to drop a SC into it(knowing the warentee is void after the install).
    Ya know it's funny, but I don't think any S/Ced VX's have had any engine problems. Does the SCer replace the "oil drain rings" that are known to be bad? Only things you can do is to check your oil often (around every 1,000 miles) and replace your PCV valve which seems to be what makes the oil burn.

    I put the S/C on right around 40,000 miles and am now over the 60,000 mile mark- 0 problems. I am a pretty abusive driver also, drag racing, offroading, creek crossing, etc.
