I bought my car after 5 years of sitting with very little run time in years 1 and 2 and none in 3, 4 or 5. The bottom end still has fewer than 2500 miles since a rebuild due to a thrown rod.. the heads have 15,000 miles on them and were put on when the original 427 was removed and a 428 was put in in 1991..
The 428 runs fine doesn't use
oil in any great amount beyond typical territory marking behavior. Compression is 165-171 across the board.. The question is I get a puff of blue smoke out of the right side if the car has been driven or warmed up and I shut it off and restart it in a short amount of tme. It doesn't smoke all the time, and it doesn't smoke when fired up if it is allowed to cool off, either several hours or over night.
I think I need a set of valve guide seals.. Anyone have an opinion?
I have seen a tool that allows seals to be changed by removing the rocker arms, pressurizing the cylinder with compressed air and using a spring compressor remove the spring to replace the seal.. Anyone know where to rent one or buy a less expensive one? (occasional use)
Thanks in advance,
