near 11000 miles. This means I might have to do a rebuild and come back stronger than ever. I hope its nothin more than a head gasket. Thanks guys, I will take it in to the shop and I will let you guys know what the problem is.

Well, a blown head gasket is no walk in the park on the VQ. If you have a blown head gasket, it would be worth it to pull the motor and do the full rebuild.

one problem is if your rings are busted they might have scratched the cylinder wall and then you'd need a new block.

Unless there is a bad failure the block should be ok with just an overbore cut.

maybe this is another cheap alternative for me to do the forged internals rather than wait for my rods to fail and puncture a hole in my block.
