F150 StrokerCobra

i noticed the engine was smoking grayish blue lastnight... i cheked the plugs today and saw that cyl 1,4,6,8 are wet.. the other ones are burning fine..

it is a new engine below 500 miles... maybe the rings havent seated properly yet?? or what could be wrong here?

Perhaps the intake is sucking oil from the bottom side of the ports? Odd that only 4 of 8 are doing it.

before it was only 1 and 4 Cyl... now its gotten to the other side as well i suspect the intake sucking oil.. but im gonna do a compression chek to chek the rings first then im gonna chek the intake..


just talked to the guy who build the engine for me

he said chek compression to see if the rings are ok!
then chek the valve seals ( his job )
then chek the intake...

nope.. it came from Ford.. the engine was a REMAN. engine from ford.. 0.0 miles on it.. brand new..the engine shop only swapped the cam and did some machining on the head to the valve seal fit..

My money is on the intake gaskets.

i think your spending your money right.. today i started it so cold start and its not smoking or smelling like burnt oil.. Hot engine.. (dragracing) the more it expands and letting the oil in cold engine not so much... im gonna chek compression first then the intake gasket..
