Thread: Newly rebuilt fe390 still smoking after intake redo. Leak Down Test? Wrong pcv valve

Do yourself a favor. It's about 165 miles from Tallahassee to Jacksonville. Tomorrow morning fill your car with gas, and hit the road east, preferably on something like FL 90 vs I10 - stay off of the interstate highway. As you drive through the countryside, vary your speed, not sticking to a set speed limit, and as you leave the little towns and have legal freedom, accelerate briskly up to the speed limit and then continue varying speeds. Go on through Jacksonville to the coast, maybe down to St Augustine, and find a nice spot to have lunch by the ocean. After a nice lunch, reverse direction and head home, following the same pattern. Friday when you get up, fill the tank and hit the road again, but maybe head down FL 27 to Tampa, following the same pattern of varying speeds, but include a few hard runs at WOT as you leave towns and get up to the speed limit. It's about 275 miles to Tampa, so enjoy a late lunch and head home, then maybe enjoy dinner along the way home. On Saturday start it up and take it out for a cruise, and see how your oil smoke is doing. If you're still totally focused on a little bit of smoke, use the Bon Ami trick and if that doesn't work sell the car and buy something that makes you happy. Life's too short to continue the way you're going.
