Only One Rotor Burning Oil
#1
Two weeks ago I was going to take my car out for a drive, but at start-up it smoked the whole neigborhood. At first I thought it was the turbo, but when I pulled it off oil was dripping out of the rear exhaust port. So out came the engine, tore it down. Could not find anything wrong. The oil control rings and o-rings were new 10k miles ago. The rotors were cut to use 3mm apex seals. So how can so much oil get into the combustion chamber?

That is what I thought before I took the engine apart. But the springs were in the right way when I took the rings out. The o-rings still looked new.
