Message	After having the engine dropped once already and having new turbos put on, my Z's still burning oil and passenger-side BOV still spits oil. With the advice of JWT, the diagnosis is that I have a broken piston ring land. I've been so advised that dropping the engine (again) and replacing the short block and all 6 pistons is needed to correct the problem, but at severe expense. Any advice from others who've had similar issues would be welcome. Thanks & Merry Christmas all.
