Just a side note, if anyone needs help with parts, please let me know and I'll help you out.
I have access to everything basically and can great deals on almost everything.
I know the rebuild/repair process is expensive and I'd be happy to help. BC really saved the day for me on this one.

And I went ahead and bought a leakdown tester just for S&Gs. Hooked it up to cyl 4 first, my suspected bad one. I forgot to remove the dipstick, but since I had the breather hose off, air was coming out of that hole (facing car, right rear of valve cover). I plugged it, and heard air escaping through the dipstick. touched the dipstick just a bit and POP, out comes the dipstick and oil spurted all over my ceiling, the Outlander, the Ralliart, the floor, and me.
Note, always remove dipstick from motor before doing a leakdown test. lol
Needless to say, I didn't waste my time checking the other cylinders.

steamy white smoke says coolant for sure, usually a head gasket which can be caused by warped cylinder head, was the car ever overheated, or a factory head that was not totally flat, added boost = added cylinder pressure which can make things worse good luck

Who knows. I don't think it was the RAD. I think it was bad e85 along with over-boosting/clutches opening. Pretty sure I'd cracked a ring and then the bad e85 just took it from there. Or maybe it was a fuel relay. Whatever, it's back on the road and a real monster.
