I have not driven the car very far due to a tranny problem.I have only run the motor to fine tune it.I broke the cam in 2200 to 3000 rpm for twenty minutes anr drove the car maybe 2 miles but the transmission (which was supposed to be good) turned out to be a dud.The motor has seen 210* for 10 minutes just trying to get some heat in it then cooled back down to 185*.The oil does look like it is coming down the valve stim.Will it still have good cranking compression with the rings not seating?Should I hold off running the motor anymore untill the new tranny goes in and then drive it to help break in the rings(taking the motor up to 4500 and then using it as the brakes to slow back down several times?)Will the valves be loose if the guides are bad?If it is the rings with that much oil in the exhaust port wouldnt the plugs have some oil on them?This build has been a real nightmare any help is greatly appreciated.
