Thread: White smoke from breather and oil drops formed

Tweet

THIS IS A BRAND NEW REBUILD.Brand new rings, cam, everything.... Ive got smoke billowing from the breather. Pcv is fine it has vacuum. I havent done a compression test since this problem started. During break in procedures (2500-3000 rpm for 30 minutes) this motor was fine. I finally got my breaks fixed on my 85 c10 and decided to drive it to work. When i got to work i noticed i was burning oil off the headers. When i took a look i thought at first my valve covers were leaking. After further inspection noticed white smoke and oil drops forming and dripping from the breather. I am aware of what could cause this but they are BRAND NEW RINGS! I have so much invested into this thing and have spent months getting this truck ready and rebuilding this motor and its first drive im already debating pulling the motor out and having to rebuild it again. I have eagle rod and pistons, comp magnum cam, brand new pushrods, calve springs rockers, pretty much everything but the heads which are aluminum zz4 off an old corvette and an old 400 sb 4 bolt main bored 30 over. Everything checked out at the machine shop. Please i need some real solid advice and PLEASE no redneckery. Thanks in advance
