#4 and #8 smokes when the head fills up.

By Dave Shoe - 10/13/2003 6:22:57 PM; IP 12.2.11.131

Since the engine is tilted back, oil puddles up at the rear valves, not the front ones.

I'm still thinking it's overfilled heads, particularly on the passenger side in your case.

If you used the blue teflon gaskets, it's likely the gasket has moved on ya and is causing leaks, but a leaky intake gasket would probably smoke most at lower speeds.

I don't suspect you have ring problems, as draining the pan causes bearing problems, not ring problems. So far, I don't recognize symptoms of oil starvation in your case.

Shoe.

This thread, so far...
