Why is my fresh rebuild smoking

[SquareRoot]

pulled valve covers and found a couple of leaves that we obviously missed when replaced the valve covers

The Modulator leaking into the vacuum line is a new one on me.

Finding leaves inside the valve covers is a new one on me. Lol

Ricko the valve covers were replaced after the rebuild because the aluminum ones put on during the rebuild cracked around the bolt holes. I made the mistake of trusting my 22 year old grandson to swap them out when I had a bunch of other stuff going on. My mistake, Will be using it as a teaching/Learning opportunity.

Makes me question the quality of the valve seals...

It no longer smoking but valve seal integrity is definitely on my mind,

And how come LEDs only light in one direction? Didn't we cover this yesterday? I'm more concerned with why did he have leaves,under the valve cover on a fresh rebuild

Is that a sign of a "Shade Tree" mechanic???

Glad to give you all something to Laugh at! As far as the leaves this time of year come to north Florida there everywhere (no snow) windy and 72 degrees today.

I hope you haven't taken any of this personally,we spent weeks once arguing about what happens if you tie buttered toast to a cats back.Watch we are about to 3 pages of cats and buttered toast comments.

White is usually coolant entering the combustion chamber.Pull all the plugs and check for coolant. Use a pressure tester and check to make sure the system will hold pressure.Its possible coolant could be leaking from the intake and drawn into one of the ports.
