Hi,
 Well, I ended up driving my car down to Mid Ohio hoping it just needed some
miles on it to help the rings seat but the smoking just got worse. So here is
the run down. The first day I drove the car after getting the engine back
together I had very little smoke. The second day the car smoked like crazy on
startup and after that would only smoke when I lifted my foot off of the pedal.
The third day I drove to Mid Ohio and on the highway the only time it would
smoke was again when I lifted my foot off the gas. While I was at Mid Ohio the car
would smoke like crazy on startup and then started smoking at idle as well.
This got worse and worse and at idle the car would smoke so think I could not
see the car behind me at red lights. That was fun, not! On the trip home I had
to pay very close attention to keep it from smoking. I would just try to keep
load in the engine even when braking to keep the smoke down. I also added 3
quarts of oil over the 1000 mile trip. Now I don't think its the rings but maybe
one of the valve seals got put in wrong. Any other ideas? I am going to
flatbed the car to my mechanic because it is just to bad to drive now.
 Other than that Mid Ohio was fun to watch and get rides with people. I hung
out with Bob Pastor, Pizzo, Bill Fuson, Nick Pinto, Rick Pastor, Dave Burig
and many other great people. It was fun to meet some more listers.
