Well I started up the new short block 408 this morning,started up real easy ran the rpm up to about 1800 to break in the cam a lifters after about ten mins I started to get white smoke from the left bank I lower the rpm's and shut engine off,
waited for about ten mins started up let idle no smoke let engine get to temp no smoke, ramped rpm back up to 1800 and in about 5 mins started to get white smoke again. idle back down shut engine off. pulled # 8 plug no water on plug,pulled #2 found water on plug check bolts on intake the two that seal water flow too head turn half turn and tighten them down again.
went back and ran my finger in the exhaust pipe and found water.
started back up at idle no smoke ramped rpm up and once again white smoke. i check the radiator for bubbles and found none.
where do I start? pull the intake,
crack cylinder wall?
thanks for any help!!!
