Very bad rings, the car had very little compression, and I think the boost from the turbo is part of what was keeping it running.
I think the engine only had 1 quart of oil in it to begin with, you went up a hill and the oil moved away from the pick up, and you're making the rest up.
BTW back pressure isn't going to make the engine blow oil out of it, it will only make it run like ****.
ok so heres the deal. got the h-pipe off. had to cut it off at one point and after i cut through and turned it oil poured out so. at this point here is what im thinking. one of the cylinders on the passenger side has bad rings. or valve seals. hell at this point idk. i got headers today for a good deal so im happy about that. putting it on tomm and am going to run another compression check with my snap on compression tester. the cheap as one i used a few days ago showed 178 psi on all but one pistion. ( number 1) and it was 170psi. i think that gauge is a pos.
but at this point im expecting to have to pull the motor. which sucks but at the same point its kinda like whatever. the mustang stays in the garage the whole winter. engine bay gets done and an explorer motor gets built. so we will see. tomm i will know what will have to happen. but at the moment im expecting the worse and hoping for the best!
my money says the muffler bearings seized which caused the hyperfootinating valve to fail thus allowing all the oil to escape through the blinker fluid gaskets.

same here. a true compression test with a good gauge. will tell. so tomm. you will either see a good ending. or bad ending. but in the end if an explorer motor has to go in its a win win so i wont be to up set about the motor going. so we will see.
