The side housings were lapped and were within specs. I
tried to get the oil springs installed correctly but at this point I'm double
guessing everything.
I bet Lynn or Leon could
tell us what happens when you put the springs in backwards. I'm sure
they've "heard of" someone "else" doing that :-)
I will check the oil vent line for mist and run a pressure check on
the coolant. Anyone have a cheap way do that--local Auto Zone, etc stores don't
have a
pressure tester to rent.
If you don't have access to a
traditional pressure tester, you could pressurize the system via some other
convenient point like a temp sensor hole, water heater outlet, etc. If you
could rig a tire valve on a hose, with a gauge, then you could pump it to
whatever your pressure cap will hold, and watch it.
I put about four ounces in four gallons of gas and have the
metering pump
if it is working. Thanks for the
suggestions.
One
ounce per gallon is plenty, and extra "might" cause the smoking. I'd
consider disabling the metering pump temporarily just to make sure it
isn't adding additional oil. If that's not it, I'm afraid you'll be going
back in the engine.
Good luck,
Rusty
