Smoking from Dipstick/Oil Filler Neck

I lost oil pressure and somehow all the oil in the system and had no idea.....No warning light or buzzer.

Then the car started to Idle really crappy...i changed the oil in it. And it ran fine for about an hour and today when i started it it up it felt and sounded like it was ideling on 1 rotor. Shaking and Vibrating the car real bad. when i pull it into my garage i notice smoking from the PCV (removed it to vent the crankcase) also noticed that the dipstick was out a bit and it was spitting some oil out thru there. And after i shut it off and placed it back in and made sure nothing was lose....i tried to start it back up and nothing......barely turns over....it fires but won't run.

Had 16psi Vacum this morning with the bad idle and before the end.

I have no idea but a few people have givin me ideas on what might have been damaged or happened....any takers?

P.s. i'll have pix up of internals when i get the engine out and apart....I knew it wasn't chance but also inevitibility with this car......this is my first engine to go on me.

Thanks Josh

That sux, and Josh and I were the only two with good AF61 numbers that were posting... at least the two with the highest HP marks on the setup.

Good luck with your rebuild bro!

Get that **** running... as soon as I let the 61r go we're going to do some methanol and c16 runs with the T51r... lol... it's Eric all over again.

Take it bro, it's a nice setup. Good for 600+ HP. I feel bad but I couldn't pass it up. Ron put his own money into it and it's the first one he made... I'd take it, that way you have it when your engine is finished.
