Featured Replies

i have a new rebuild engine almost every thing has been replace on the engine it runs good has alot of power but my issue is it smokes lightly when in idle and it would smoke alot when deceleration some time its smoke alot on aceleration some times it doesnt any idea compression is with in 2 psi so compression is good head has been redone and new valve guide seal

Have you gone thrugh the brake in period yet? sounds like valve seals, "new" doesn't mean "good".

Yep sounds like dry rotted valve guide seals, who built your motor ? And what oil are you using ? and don't say synthetic.

I would think a problem with the oil rings if it's smoking on decal. OP says new valve guide seals. Oil ring could be the wrong tension or something.

You need to make sure the cylinders seat before you beat on the motor or you could score the walls and or brake a ring.
