Definitely not using coolant. Used all OEM parts. Machine shop said head was flat/straight. Brian, let me know all the info on contacting Metric. I may go that route too. Oil smoke is definitely out the exhaust. None on the ground. Clearly visible blue smoke when driving behind car and a pungent burning oil smell. I thought maybe the turbo seals had gone but that seems awful coincedental with the head work. As a quick check I also ran the crankcase vent to atmosphere to make sure it wasn't blowby and it still smoked. I'm beginning to hate this car. RT
