Carlos, because your getting oil in the cylinders after sitting overnight, I would still be looking for too large guide clearance or bad valve seal. Also I have read on this forum of too much oil up top causing this problem for some engines. Since you probably have new bearings down below and if you did not put any oil restriction plugs up top, maybe, just maybe, you are moving lots of oil into the valve cover. I'm just doing a 390 GT and just read on these forum pages to be careful of high volume pumps that may cause this. I'm think I'll be going with stock type oil pump. If I was you I'd take er for run, then quickly pull a valve cover and check for a large amount of oil up top. I have also heard of cutting an old valve cover in half length-wise, or cutting a section out of the top half and installing on motor then starting it up to watch how much oil comes up top. (Careful you can be sprayed with hot oil) Just some suggestions to try. Your cam sounds like its working good to me. Hows the idle sound - smooth or lumpy. Hows it respond when you walk on it? What axle ratio you runnin. I can't speak to better cam choice as I'm still debating myself. Currently running Cobra Jet specs cam (.482) lift but I feel I need more cam as mine feels like its runnin out of breath after 4500. Hope this helps -- keep us posted. |
