RE: blowin smoke, can you help me?

do you have a pcv and is it working? A faulty pcv would definitely account for the breather smoke. Start with the premise that ALL engines have blowby to some degree or another. With no pcv that blowby will come out of the breathers.

The tailpipe smoke is a bit more complicated. Could be rings or valve stem seals to name a couple. Diagnosis kinda depends on what mode of operation the engine is in when it is happening.

I had a machine shop accidently leave the valve stem seals off of a set of heads once. They smoked nicely. I was not happy.

More info needed here.

This thread, so far...
