They said detonation caused them to break. They broke because there was no ring land material where the valve reliefs were. Ive detonated my old motor hard and it still lived. and i never once herd and detonation or saw anything while it was getting datalogged on the dyno. Yet i lifted all 8 ring lands from detonation? i dont think so to be honest. you can see the difference in ring land material from the old slugs to the new ones.
The oil was from the pcv/crank case lines. I ran them to the inlet tube just like i did on the blower setup, and like oem does and never had a problem with them.

I think you sucked up oil from the valve covers from the turbo and the turbo spewed it through your whole system in which return put oil inside the motor causing your failure...
ran the car with the inlet pipe off and it didnt push out and oil, that oil was from the pcs/crank case lines. If it was pushing oil it was very minuscule, ive thought about restricting the oil flow to the turbo just in case and have read a lot of people that have blown oil seals have done that with good results. but precision does not recommend it.
The majority of the blue oil smoke when i first started to notice the car was hurt was coming from a leak i had at the headers, not much from the down pipe, i even took out the o2 bung plug in the down pipe (for when the car is dynoed) and no smoke really came from there compaired to the headers. the exhaust ports had a lot of oil in them along with the primaries. This alos leads me to believe the turbo wasnt pushing oil, it was simply pushing past the rings.

I am pretty sure the oil in the inlet pipe might of had something to do with the fact that the crankcase had 15psi of pressure in it. That would defently push oil from the valve covers to the inlet pipe. Could have ran a catch can on the car instead but then it would have had a catch can full of oil instead, the motor would have still been done. There is no reason the turbo should suck oil(at least any amout that would matter) in from a baffeled valve cover.

jon .... we feel your pain .... maybe not as much .. but we are familiar ..

and oil coming from the timing cover and valve cover

this pic was taken on thursday before last months no e.t. the dyno was wed .
and we had it all back together for sat .. but she still wasnt totally happy.
still best of luck ... your not alone man.
never ever ... ever use anything but o.e. 03 04 cobra exh mani gaskets ..the mls is bitchin and holding bolt tork very well. its near 50$ for the setbut whatever .. a cheapass gasket ruined a 600$ day at the dyno. we will not be making that mistake again .
