Are you any good on engine problems just need a second opinion .... It's building up lots and lOts of presure so much so that oil is leaking out of the rocker cover ..and when you take of the oil filler cap when running it's like a steam train the amount of steam coming out, would you say it's head gasket? Ad it could be pistons rings couldt it ,,it does puff out abit Of blue smoke when cold but other than that it's fine no mocks or no taps?

whip the air intake hoses (between the air box and turbo) off if there is lots of oil in there its highly likely a ring.

When I broke mine the lad who had all the underbody protection had his disco stolen and stripped not long after.
A friend of mine spent real mega money building a challenge 90 only to sell it straight away cos he was shit scared of it being stolen.

next up on the list to check is the crank case breather. take off the black box off the rocker cover and blow down it with an air line if you can to see it ifs blocked.
