I`ve just replaced some old engine parts (origninal, no tuning) and rebuild the engine with new gaskets, and now there`s smoke coming out the exhaust pipe. I think this is some bad fuel/air setting but i`m not sure. Does someone reconise this, or know how to avoid/repair it???? Thnx (sorry about my language, i`m not english)

Welcome to the forum Chaco :wave:

Your english is pretty good..Where are you from?

Blue smoke = oil burning
white smoke = Antifreeze (coolant) burning

Did you re-torque the head bolts correctly and re-adjust the valves after running the engine some?? After like 4-500 miles you are supposed to retorque the head bolts and check 'em...48 lbs/ft.
