I do have the covers on. I plan on taking it off road regularly and don't want a branch, rocks, etc etc knocking my t-belt off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firehawk618 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 It's been done for a while. The car will now do 80mph effortlessly! Before I could hardly hit 70 unless the highway was perfectly flat.It has great compression. The cylinders looked excellent inside.I just pulled the engine out because the car was smoking like CRAZY upon deceleration.When getting the engine ready to put in for the swap I put all new gaskets and seals in it but I never pulled a piston because the cylinders looked good inside. The piston tops did have a bunch of carbon build up so I cleaned it all off. That should have been my clue.Anyhow stuck oil control rings. I have pulled the oil rings and am soaking them in some cleaner overnight then will put the engine back together.Should do the trick!
