Ford Racing 427 burning oil

[68pony]

The white ones we put in are 11/32 the brand was pioneer, the orange ones were not glued as they came off easy and had little tension, all i can say is we know of three 427's here in sydney including mine that had this smoke issue all three had orange seals all three were replaced with the white ones pictured and all three stopped smoking after this was done, the orange ones might work fine on the same head for a 347 but a 427 is a different ball game, maybe they just were not fitted correctly i don't know but i'm a happy chappy now and went cruising yesterday and it was nice to see NO smoke wafting out from my rear view mirror

Cashburn...I spoke with Frank, he said no issues with the motor in #1061-it has over 100 miles on it so I would expect if there was an issue they would have seen the symptoms by now. I will def put the hairy eyeball on it. Thx for the input.

Are you saying you installed 14 of the Alum block motors up there with 1 problem or 14 of the motors like 68Pony's? thx again

We have not used the alum. versions..l they had some issues with supply and only recently revised the specs. Maybe this year...

Our customer did not notice the issue until 500 or so miles, however we believe it was just not as noticeable. We delivered with about 30 miles and had no sign.
