    engine started knocking! but then stopped

    If you start it up and it has been sitting the oil probly didnt make it to the topend and the valvetrain was clanking? Should go away in a few seconds if it does it, which sounds like what happened to you..

    Vibration at low RPMS

    Anyone? If I hold er at 1500 it seems to vibrate pretty good then over that it pretty much disappears. I got a remanned flywheel, maybe a balance issue?

    gt390

    Yeah, I was thinking there was too much oil in the top end, but I dont think that could explain the smoke. This motor isnt going to see too much rpm, i mean all that is needed :D . I have arp studs in the heads for the rocker stands which dont neck down like the stock ford oiling bolt, would...

I havent driven it, heat cycles and blasts down the road, so the rings still may not be seated, but I am getting alot of smoke out the breathers.

    Smokin like a chimney!

    I just got the 390 in my truck running. (gt 390). The heads were wasted, so I got a built set of c4ae's guides all felt good and tight, and seats looked good. Anyways It smokes worse than it did now than before. Before I had like 1/4 inch of play in a few of the valve guides. Its smoking out the...

    408W from the Engine Factory or Keith Kraft?

    Do the work yourself, and youll have a better motor. If you think your not capable, ask someone who might now or buy a book. Just take your time. Why would anyone buy a crate motor? :shrug:
