I ran it on ATF for a day or 2 and it got worse about a 2 weeks ago. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

It's now billowing smoke for about 20 mins if just left sitting.

I'm pretty convinced that I need to change the rings out of at least one piston.

Is it even plauseable to do it without removing the crankshaft? I can't imagine removing the engine with the million wires and hoses this thing has...
