Oil burn cloud on engine deceleration

WSUTARD said

Two things. Can someone please explain to me how ring wash happens with an Eddy carb?

Second, would anyone advise on trying out a can of Seafoam before I rip this thing out of the car? FBBO had a similar discussion going and someone suggested Seafoam first to see if it was "stuck rings".

Highly unlikely it's stuck rings. Sea foam is cheap and easy to do.

Eddy's can boil fuel on hot days when you shut them off. Unless you had a major issue with a float level, stuck needle and seat or something, I doubt you washed the cylinder walls down. I haven't seen that it years, and most of the time the choke wasn't functioning and killed the rings.

Most likely the hone wasn't done correctly and you are now paying the price. Before I started building engines, the machinist I used honed my block incorrectly. I knew it was JUNK because it smoked for the first 25 minutes. His **** hone ripped the faces off the rings on start up. I learned how NOT to finish a bore from him.

A new engine should NOT smoke on fire up. If it does, the rings are probably toast.
