Hi all,
 Well, yesterday I got it all back together and fired it up. It ran fine and
then started smoking. I figured the smoke was just oil burning off of the
pistons from putting the new rings on. After the car warmed up the smoke stooped
and the car ran and drove fine. The oil pressure is 1 bar lower than it used to
be. Is this caused by the new rods and rod bearings? I drove the car home
about 30 miles and it ran fine. I drove around a little just to put some miles on
the new stuff. No sign of smoke or anything unusual besides the oil pressure
being low. I went home and shut the car off. Today I went out and started it
up and once again it smoked like crazy. At first the smoke was gray and had
very little smell and then the blue smoke again. I drove it a couple miles and
the smoke stopped but when I let off on the gas around 2500 to 3000 rpm a big
cloud of blue smoke appears. I drove the car for about 50 miles and only on
deceleration did I get the cloud of smoke. Anyone have any idea's to what this is.
The head I bought from Hap had new valve seals. Thats all I can think of
since it only does it when I let off on the gas at low rpm. Help!

Elijah
