Re: just weird. help wanted.
reason i think it might be carbon burning off is i soaked the combustion chambers with marvel mystery oil for about two weeks. thinkin maybe it loosened alot up but it had nowhere to go

Re: just weird. help wanted.
If you have smoke coming from anywhere other than the exhaust its not good. Thats a sure sign of a very worn engine. Smoke out of the breathers while running is an indication of a lot of combustion gasses in the crankcase caused by excess blowby. Does the engine have a lot of oil leaks? Does the dipstick pop out of the tube?

Re: just weird. help wanted.
Blue smoke will never come out of the breathers. Blue smoke out the exhaust is the indication of blowby. On the same token the combustion gasses get pushed into the crankcase which causes the white smoke your seeing. I would do a compression test on the engine and start from there. That will tell the story.

Re: just weird. help wanted.
my oil is either leaking from the rear main or the rear seal on the pan. put new gasket on the pan and the rear main didn't even look bad. not looking forward to pulling the trans to get to it.

Re: just weird. help wanted.
i did a compression test with the old heads (bent valves ) 0 compression and it wouldn't run. took the tool back to autozone and swapped heads and now it runs.
