I have a dilemma. I put a used 5.0 and T-5 into my car. I drove it easy for a couple days and all was well. But the Oil Press would start out about 60 PSI. The last engine, which was a low mileage racing motor was pretty steady @ about 39-45 PSI. This one starts @ 60 and when it's all heated up drops down to as low as 25 @ idle. So I finally "get on er" and within a mile I implode the Throw out bearing. I spent a week changing out the tranny, get it back on the road and it's got the telltale blue smoke coming aout the tailpipe. Not a lot, but it doesn't ever go away completelly, and when I stomp on it it's pretty bad for the folks behind me. Are these related? Could I have just blown out a valve stem seal or are we talking rings? Any advice would be appreciated because I'm gonna start tearing into it tonight. Sorry for the long thread.
Matt.
