Hmmm, I was seeing if I had any valve adjustment issues and everything looked good. I started the motor up and had a noticeable puff of blue smoke- my cold startups had been a little hazy but not blue. I trailered a truck home about 40 miles and had to pull some steep hills in 4th. I didn't baby it. I didn't see any drips from the breather after it sat. Exhaust sounded the same at idle.
When I first put this in the truck, I had what I assumed was an exhaust valve on #6 cylinder that was not closing while cranking for oil pressure before starting- air leaking out on compression stroke hiss but it stopped. I figured it was due to a little rust or something keeping it from seating. I had a full valve job and seats replaced. I also think I had a cam regrind but I didn't see that on the bill. I am going to do a compression check before I drive it any more.
I don't have an obd2 port figured out so I can't see if I have any codes. It sure tows better than my 93 12 valve!
If I have to I can get the truck I brought home running. 200k, crank, no start- Original injectors and CP3..
