what to do?

[AA02gt]

hey i want to go out and buy a procharger. but i am thinking that if i do that i will be having so engine problems soon. my gt has 65000 miles on it and it burnt 3 quarts of oil in 3000 miles, so i am thinking something is wrong with my rings. what do you guys think, should i hold out and buy a new engine and a procharger at the same time? or can i run the supercharger on this engine till it blows? will it hurt the supercharger if it blows? i really dont know. any advice?

IMO , you should figure out why you are burning so much oil before adding the supercharger. I dont think the mileage will be an issue but man something is wrong with losing that much oil.

you wont hurt the S/C if it blows but i think you have a seroius engine problem that should be taken care of first.

run a compression check and see how it turns out

Do a compression test and leak down test. Figure out why it's burning so much oil. It could be an oil leak you can't see, or maybe a faulty PCV valve.

our cars have a habit of valve seals wearing out , noticed any blue or white smoke ? maybe have a bud follow and watch when you get on it?

Kind of odd though, bad valve seals/piston rings usually don't happen on newer cars, especially at 65k miles. Unless the car has been beaten to hell and back. I'm thinking there is a leak somewhere. Maybe one of the valve cover gaskets.

my buddy did follow me a while ago and he did say it was smoking blue smoke....

i also park in the garage and there is no oil on the ground at all so i am thinking it is not a leak....

dont buy the leakcharger. I just read a comparision between procharger and vortech. and omg those things are JUNK. go to superchagersonline.com and read it for your self. plus i have seen alot of threads on this site and others of people having problems with them. get a vortech.

does a compression test check my valve seals or how do i check them??

A compression test will tell you what condition the valve seals/ piston rings are in. A leak down test will do an even better job.
