Not dynoed yet. Gonna give revline a call today to check out the price and get a time set up. Super excited. I know it's not much of a power maker but it's my first real build that I did myself.(not much of a build but a rebuild and some bolt ons.


Lol at the off topic post. No problem. Got a good laugh

JgDsMr

my last question is... I hope... every start up it spits a good amont of white smoke out the tail pipe. water right? my first though is hg but I would think I would have some seiours power lost. seems to be worse the hotter it is outside. the morning arent as bad cuz it was cool over night. but went out to eat yesterday and started it up after dinner. worst ive seen it yet. it was pretty hot here yesterday. this morning start up.. just a little white smoke. Any thoughts?
thanks

White smoke is usually water. Are you losing coolant with no obvious leaks? You could have a very small HG leak that may not effect power that much. There is also a test you can do to detect combustion leakage in the coolant. Here's the kit on Amazon:

i wouldn't trust those kits to be definitive.
how many k have you driven since the rebuild?

Did you Deck the block????

Just did the HG in my 90 teg with GSR and didn't deck the block and started to get white smoke when the engine was warm after 950 miles on it.

turned out i had a low spot on the #4 cylender wall .008 below the deck and it started leaking after the HG sealant burned off.

I did not have the block decked. I did check the block with a straight edge and got noithing out of spec. I dont even think I could stick my .005 feeler through anywhere.
had the head milled too.
Cometic gasket(might be my problem)
apr head studs(should I retorque these after rebuild at any time??)
not even 200 miles yet since the rebuild

JgDsMr

Forgot to mention that I am for sure that the smoke appears more if it has been hot outside. I would think I would be worse overnight(because of time) but no its the best in the morning. hardly any smoke at all. worse during the day when it has been hot.

give it time. 200miles is nothing. see how it does in a thousand

JgDsMr

Will do.
