Well buttoning up the small stuff as im breaking in the motor . Some issues so far ive fixed (with some advice from my pop and 140cilx)...
Small oil leak on the front of the motor : fixed, forgot to put sealant on the cam bolt
vaccum lines: just finding random lines that were once useful , plugging them seems to help
Blueish smoke:
I suspected the valve seals from the start, my dad suggested i change the oil (never do this enough on a rebuilt motor) becuase we had put "extra" oil in when we first started it up..bout a quart and a half extra! So far it seems to be smoking less, we'll see.
-if not i already picked up a new RUBBER vavle cover gasket and the metal jacket valve seals
Conclusion, my car is very very scary to drive...some how by the time i shift to 3rd my speedo is on its second trip around the dial! The boost floats (i have it ghetto rigged , not a 'real boost controller') from about 10-14psi...right now i can imagine the tuned 20+psi comming soon.....btw, had a Fbody back down from racing today
