    Decking questions

     



    Rodeck 350+ block decked .032, brodex track 1 heads, heads are new but surfaced. B&m powercharger 250 blower. Crane blower cam with JE pistons and plasma moly rings, copper head gaskets with aeroquip O rings, the block also has been 'O" Ringed around the cylinder bores. Felpro intake gaskets. Now the problem, engine smokes slightly at idle and more on decelleration. Removed PCV Valve to assure blower not sucking oil through it. Where is this oil coming from? Is it possible, from mismatch of the heads to intake from the block being decked .032? When do you start machining the intake? I'm at my wits end with this motor. Also I've heard the plasma moly rings never really seal as they are racing equipment. But, that is what Rodeck recommended. I haven't retorqued the heads as if yet. Just fired it today, but had this same problem before I tore it apart to address this very issue. Also, have some oil leaking out between head gaskets, ??? Guess I didn't get it.
