BURNING OIL SOLVED! New Rebuilt SBC burning oil! Fixed for zero dollars! You won’t believe THIS!!

% 59

The oil burning culprit nobody told us about!!!
Blue Smoke, always a sign of burning oil no matter what anyone tells you. This had me perplexed, why was it burning? Where from? This engine is brand new!! Compression test was good. Leak down test was good!! Heads were new out of the box. Could all eight valve seals fail?
Nope. Forget the usual suspects this one fooled even the most versed mechanics.
Check it out, it’s good knowledge to have should you ever come across it.
Nobody….. I talked to hundreds of people and NOBODY even thought to check out this possibility. You have to see it to believe it.

Good video. This happened to me many years ago when I replaced a few damaged studs on my SBC with screw in studs (the ones you have to double-nut to install). Years later after I sold the engine it another YT video made it apparent why the motor burned oil in two or three cylinders only.

Interesting, you’re only the second person I know who came across this before. Thanks for sharing that, it’s good for folks to be aware

Great job tracking down the root cause of that smoking gun. I have no experience with aftermarket Aluminum heads so I would have never seen that issue coming either. Drive in peace .

@shortcutgarage 18 дней назад

Me either. If it hadn’t been for a post I seen from 2010 in a corvette forum I would have missed this too

@richsadventure9736 16 дней назад

Nice job tracking it down! I commented about it maybe rings or cylinders being out of round but I still had my doubts because it was a fresh rebuild but again great job of process of elimination the correct way 👍

@shortcutgarage 16 дней назад

Thanks!! I owe it all to some fella on a random post in a Corvette forum I believe. He mentioned it with these Dart heads and he was right.

Good job diagnosing Ron. I didnt even think of that. Car sounds great. Also, another way of setting the valves is to do one cylinder at a time. Turn the engine until the exhaust valve starts to open, then adjust the intake. Then rotate the engine so the intake valve opens and just starts to close, then you can adjust the exhaust valve. Then move to the next cylinder. Doing it this way puts the lifter on the base circle of the cam and the valve lash will be perfectly set. It might save you some time too. I can lash an engine in about 5 minutes doing it this way and using a remote starter switch. If you are not familiar, it is a switch that clamps on the battery and the starter soleniod. When you push the button, the engine turns over.

Thanks! I got lucky on that, read the right thing and just happened to check it out before I got too deep. I have adjusted valves that way too, works good when a guy is just after the intake and or exhaust like you say, one is open the other should be right where ya want it for adjustment.

were the rocker studs free of charge or did you have them on hand in your garage? anyways great diagnosis you saved your self the head ache of tearing down the engine for nothing.

@shortcutgarage 18 дней назад

Just needed sealant, I didn’t replace them. Just added some sealant was all
