I'm back from fishing with another trip planned next weekend.
Busted my butt and got all four KYB shocks installed and this morning finally figured out the source of the tick I could still hear from the engine. (lifters)
I got them straightened out and took the Cobra II out for a spin and I needed gas so I could take it to the custom exhaust guy on Monday. I got on the gas a little getting on the freeway and looked in the rear-view mirror to see the horror happening behind me. Blue smoke bad. I got to the exit ramp two blocks from my house and idled it home. It left an oil trail all the way down my block and into my garage.
The oil was running out the back of the manifold with a nice pool on the block then down the side to land on the headers and exhaust pipes.
I'm discouraged and am going to have a couple of beverages while I ponder getting a new crate engine...
I called and told the exhaust guy we'll need to wait at least a couple of weeks.
I had it running so nice too.
