RS Aizawa ITB 1.6 - valve stem seals - improvements while in the head ?

[atlex]

News on this.

The VE table tuning is now in its 8th iteration.

I've been to 7800 RPM now in the map. It's pulling golden. The 7K+ region is less mushy with the solid lifters in. Even with a load of ign adv removed it's fun up there.

Now to circle back to the original smoking problem. Evidently, it wasn't valve seals but rather piston rings. But as of today's tuning and thrashing session I may have actually cured it. I can't quite believe I have. But my car just stopped smoking out the rear as of the last 10 pulls of the run. It's been using less and less oil each day I've run it.
