CRAP! I'm smoking!

Man oh man. I can't get a break. Brand new rebuild with Total seal gapless top rings. Broken in right.....12 dyno pulls.

Get it in the car and run it through a heat cycle with open headers......no smoke.

Fast forward 2 weeks. Going to a cruise I noticed a wee bit of smoke behind me. Mostly after a decelleration then applying throttle. So I smack on it pretty hard, and to the best of my ability, didn't notice smoke.

Get to the cruise and back in idling, smoking....not bad but enough that sumpin ain't right.

I got three theories 1. rings aren't seated yet? Hard for me to believe.

2. Sucking oil from the bottom of the ported Super Victor. Took off the carb and I can see the intake runners. Don't look oily. Taped a Q-tip onto the end of a piece of TIG wire and ran it along the port floors. Just a little fuel wet, but not oily.

And theory 3. Valve seals. When I put them on, I didn't use the plastic installation sleeve. Actually it didn't come with 'em. I used the white teflon positive type seals with the metal band. Was real careful installing, but heard you GOTTA USE THE SLEEVE.

The 2 pics are the SAME plug. 1 side looks ok, the other side black. 6 of the plugs look exactly like the ONE in the pic. The other 2 are just black.

I'm hoping I just need to run it for awhile or instal new viton type seals.

Thoughts? Please don't tell me my brand new rings are shot....
