on a serious note, I'd take it apart and see why it's blowing smoke.

See if it's a cracked piston or just a ring.


I will, but I will likely do it last, rather than first. I have 3 or 4 blocks,and enough parts to put together 3, 383's and 1 406 (in the garage currently).
The motor in the car now has cast (hyper's) pistons, so I suspect the piston is not broken. They explode like the rear window of a car when they break.
I am guessing that I find a not so good hone job when it comes apart. It has never been "right" from day 1.
