Default Re: white smoke....and its not the tires

So i should drain the oil, then turn it over and hook up a compression guage?? The valves should be fine, i completely reworked the heads. I installed everything, when i put in the rings, i went 120 degrees apart from each ring above it. (every 1/3 around the piston, there is the ring end gap) I didnt trim the rings, I put them in the bore, and the gap measured out fine. Not sure what you mean by blow by........if you mean oil leaking out of the valve cover, on the bad side its none, but on the good side I have oil leaking out of one of the bolt holes, but i think that my gasket just didnt get put back on right when i took it off to retorque the heads. I dont know if it matters, but i didnt get one of the bolts on the headers, the rear most one (I think my brother strippped it out....) I wouldnt think that would cause oil buring, but i might as well tell you everything, right!!? Thanks guys
