CRAP! I'm smoking!

Yeah, I could leak it down, but that ain't gonna tell me whether it's valve seals or intake sucking oil. Far as I know a leakdown will tell me if it's bad compression rings or valves leaking. Right?

I'm running VR1 20-50.

Hey Rusty! Ya know, I really can't say it's blue smoke...the cloud just ain't that dense. But it stinks like oil.

Dyno says I WAS a tad on the LEAN side. Maybe a blown power valve.....

I mean jeez, look at my plugs. I put so much money and time in this thing, it's killin' me.

One old timer last night said "drive the crap outta it for awhile" before doing anything. I've never had rings that took awhile to seat, but then again I've never used gapless rings.

The thing is it did NOT smoke on the dyno. I was outside for the last 3 pulls watching the exhaust. But on the dyno there's really no time to build much vaccum. You know what I mean.

I'm tempted to put the carb back on tomorrow after checking the power valves, and just driving it for a week or so. But maaaan, those plugs are black!
