hey guys wondering if I could get some tips on my buddies motor from you guys hes got a new motor and its smoking now...

new rings and pistons
new head with skunk2 everything


really dont know what to tell him if you could think of anything else it could be let me know...

aim... PaulWall530

 

coolant or oil? what color is the smoke? when does it happen?

 

Smoking from where? The engine bay, or out the tailpipe?

If its a brand new engine it may smoke for a bit as it burns out the grease/oils used in assembling it. When i had to retap my sparkplug hole, it smoked (Out the tailpipe) for about 2 days as it burned out the grease id sent down the sparkplug hole to pick up the shavings.

Thats just a guess though, ive never built an engine myself.

Another thought may be the headgasket is installed improperly.

 

vac leak sum were that always gets me..

 

tailpipe like light blackish white...

 

bad valve seal or ring gaps too wide....?

 

I doubte it does racing fuel make it smoke forgot to tell you guys that..

 

Do a leakdown test?

Um...... what?

We're giving advice and you're just shooting it down? If it's burining/leaking oil, a leakdown test would have isolated the issue. I suspect this was never done.

 

ya I think my buddy gave up on it if I figure out whats made the problem I will get back to you guys thanks for the advice..

 

since he gave up on it, give the b16 here
