time for a rebuild then! ....since i'd be in there i could go take it over to the RX7.com shop and get a port job, only a few miles down the road....or i could do this myself and learn a new skill. i'll search for engine rebuilds and do it myself if it dosnt require much money to do this all. REALLY appriciate all the help!!

it really depends on how high its run out before it smokes because they have oil injectors the best way to tell is pull out the dip stick and check if it smells like gas, if it does than the oil rings are probly gone but if it doesnt than i would look into checking the oil injection system.
