I have a 2005 RX8. In February I had the engine replaced. New housings, CAT, Apex Seals, starter and so on.
Here it is 8 mounts later, I have but almost 7000 miles on the new engine and now I have a blown oil control ring. It blows smoke like crazy, and now only runs on one rotor due to oil in the combustion chamber. So it sits parked now.
My question is what would cause a oil control ring to go bad in so fast in a new engine? From what I have been told, the oil control rings are the original ones from my old engine. Just trying to sort this out and figure out if I want to put more money into the car or finally just let it go.
Thanks,
Paul
