I have low compression Wiseco pistons in there.
The compression numbers are consistent,... so im not worried about that. The gauge was also old, so im pretty sure i can hit 170+ on a newer gauge.

Yes I have a magetic plug.
I never got anything on mine.
When the motor was first started after the rebuild we let the car idle for about 20 Mins then changed the oil/filter. Then I did 500 kms changed oil/filter and then did 1000 kms and changed the oil/filter. Cut open the oil filter regulary to check for debrees so far so good.
What turbo are you using?

DEBRIS!
Ok, nitpick over...
I have had several engines built over the years.. and NEVER had a problem with junk in the oil... I hope you are not letting the same person build all your engines?

damn.. if I had an engine built by a shop and it blew up as quickly as yours do.. I would be damned if I would go back.. especially if it happened again.
How many times do you have to get hit in the head before you learn to duck?
