350 rebuild smoking
I have a friend who just bought a 88 S_10 with a rebuilt 350 motor. He doesn't know what was rebuilt,bored,cam, etc. It runs for about 2 minutes fine but after that it blows out oil from exhaust pipes you wouldn't believe. It makes me wonder if he has a bad intake gasket but he said he checked it out and it seemed OK. He's not a motor head really doesn't know much asbout engines and won't let any of us work on it because he wants to do it himself. I told him it could be the rings haven't seated, bad valve guides, if it was bored incorrectly, the cylinder walls could be scratched. Any other suggestions I can throw his way?Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
