Was coming back from my tranny guys place after a bit of work, a highway trip - 40 miles, and the car felt a little off. Carried on till I got to the off ramp to my place. When got to a light the car was bucking and popping. Stopped looked for source, all plug wires on, ditributor tight, etc. Limped her home. Got it up on stands and was underneath. My plug wires are routed under the motor with looms off the oil pan. 2 or 3 plug wires were burned through against the headers. I figure the tranny guy accidently dislodged them when he was working under the car, as ther were no issues on way out to him.
So, now I am blowing blue upon start up, at high rmps, and when at a stop a cloud of blue drifts past the car, both sides.
I am guessing that the 2 dead cylinders ended up getting glazed from fuel wash, and the rings took a beating, so I need a re-ring. There is only 3000 miles on this new motor. 
Does this sound like an accurate assesment?
Thanks

a cylinder leakage test will help. this will tell if the problem is inded the bottom end. if so i would have to say if the cylinder got washed that much , most likly it effected the pistons also. gas don`t lube very will. hope it did not harm the cylinder walls.

Now that really sucks! You might as well upgrade while you have it apart.

Yep it is time for a rebuild and a upgrade would be good.
