I took the car to get the inspection today and it failed miserably. The HC ppm reading was more than 4 times the limit and the CO % was a a little more than double the limit. I'm wondering if anyone knows what would cause this. The car burns oil (1qt every ~500 miles) and someone said that could be it. Other than that the car runs just fine. Any thoughts on the issue?

It's scheduled for diagnostic at The Motorworks in Greensburg on Friday and i'm hoping I'll hear good news. If not i may be either rebuilding it or looking into buying a new motor. PM me if you have anything
