Hey guys, about 5 months ago I got a 89 5.0 mustang. I havent had a lot of times to test it but when I did it was a race against my brothers grand prix GTP. He had rockers,intake , and an exhaust. I am by far beating him in mods. I have a crane cam, rockers,performer intake,performer, heads, bbk headers, bbk x-pipe, magna flows, 75mm maf sensor, 70mm throttle body,4-10 gears, shift kit, 25 lb injectors...and I think thats it. The guy I bought it from didnt know much about the car other than it just got rebuilt 3,000 miles before i got it. It eats oil and a little smoke comes out the exhaust when the pedal hits the floor. So can someone give me any ideas whats wrong!?

Oil blow by, sounds like bad rings.

I had my rings checked and they were fine. I was thinking it was my valve seats?

How did you have your rings checked? Comp. test? Sounds like rings to me too.

Sounds like rings to me to. Though it is possible it is something else.

Did you do a compression test or a leakdown test?

That's all fine and dandy, now do a leak down test or a wet compression test.

it's easy... take a shower, don't dry off, and squeeze your....
j/k =P
same place you got the regular test done, silly =P. have them do a leakdown test too, that'll see if your rings are any good.
