Guys
I am a new member, and I hope somebody has their thinking cap on. I have a 427 bored .60" over ( 440) the list is long ....
Canfield 310 series heads / solid roller cam / apx 11:1 compression with TRW forged pistons / RPM air gap / etc etc.
This engine has about 1500 miles on it since new rebuild...........runs very strong.
Problem........smoke on start up , not initially, but after she has run and is warmed up.
Recent rod run ( apx. 250 miles) she used about 3/4 quart of oil.
No smoke when I decell down hill ( guides / valve seals) and of course the heads , as well as everything else is was (is) brand new,built and machined by respected veterans .We installed new viton seals after we set up the heads for the roller cam. I thought about potential intake manifold leak, as the canfield heads are short a couple of intake manifold holes, but I haven't taken it aprt untill I have a couple of solid ideas. As everything is pretty much new,I am kind of scratching my head on this one.
Could sure use some help
thanks
Dave
