I just replace the heads a week ago ..check the oil and it was too much on it also needs timing since I don't have my timing light with me right now. Truck runs fine and temperature gauge doesn't move at all after it reaches its normal level (now I understand why the heads when out so "quick") Could be too much oil causing the smoking problem??? I'm worry that the machine shop didn't replace the valve steam seals. 1989 Dodge Raider auto v6, Mitsu rear locker ,rear disc brakes,front T-bars cranked,oil cooler,Surco roof rack.

Mad_Scientist Roll Me Over Quote I'm worry that the machine shop didn't replace the valve steam seals. Sounds just like valve guide seals. A bit too much oil will not make it smoke, but may mean the crank rotating through the extra oil will cause the oil to foam, reducing lubrication. You need to drain out the extra oil ASAP and take your truck back to the shop that built your heads <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> Good luck '97 Montero 'LSR' - 4.6 gears & factory rear locker, 33" Procomp muds on 15x8 steelies, 50mm coil spacers, T-bar crank, Airlift, sans rear sway, 50mm rear frame & fuel tank lift, Aisins, ARB front bumper + 10k lb winch, 50mm DIY body lift, rock sliders, cut rear quarter panels...
