I am in the process of reassembling my 64 shortbed fleetside. I fired the 406 SBC last week and it smoked like a coal burner. Engine had been sitting for 3 years. (this truck restoration has been a 20yr process)
So after all of the time and attention to detail. I pulled the engine and tranny back out to disassemble the freshly painted engine and find out why #7 hole is spewing oil.
I guess an oil ring is stuck. Really stinks as this engine has 20 min on it!!
I am so close to finishing this thing! Assembly is torture! lol
