#30288, "Smoking after rebuild ???normal??????"


          

Just got the rebuild done tonight....is it normal to smoke...the car has only run for about 15 min so far..but it was still smoking. Not alot but just a faint bit...
The car runs perfect BTW. No spits or sputters yet...but then again it has only run for 15 min emoji

Depends what you used for assemvlr lube. Another factor is the piston rings have nor seated to the cylinder walls yet. Just after my rering job I bleached out the engine. My fuel system pumped so much fuel that I lost compression. I added a little oil to each cylinder and then refired it. I now have 150 miles on my rebuild. It runs better with every mile I put on it. Your smoking problem will go away. Just give it a few miles and a little time.
