Icon6 b18c block w/ b16 ported head
I have a b18c block with p73-00 that supposedly the compression ratio is 11.6, i took a b16a2 head ported and shaved it for higher compression and now when we test the car there is a lot of bluish smoke coming from the back... the fuel preasure is set a 48 with out the vacuum..

i need to know how much of a compression ratio am getting...



NEED HELP ... ITS RUNNING TOO RICHED so i think...

With all the money spent on this motor, how come you don't invest in a af ratio gauge?

Bluish smoke is not from running rich. You have other problems.
