No, I'm Chris from Peckerwoods Pit Stop in Ventura, California. I'm glad your journey was successful. The puff of smoke could be from the rings, but it should stop soon. After about 1000 miles or so, you should notice the engine running a little cooler. Rebuilt engines always run hotter until they are broken in. Once that happens, you may want to consider installing the fan clutch you have. If it runs too hat after making the swap, swap it back. Just make sure the fan is sitting half in and half out of the shroud.

What other problems are you having? Start a new thread and we'll see what we can do!

Take care
~Chris
