car was warm, I decided to rev it up alil...my cousin comes around and tells me I have alil bit of white smoking coming out at high rpm. I barely saw any but it has to be a small amount. I don't think I smell coolant...

this concerns me because I'm saving parts for a nice top build, now this has me worried that I could have bottom block problems...rings?
what do you guys think. and if I go all the way through with the build, scared i've wasted time and money if It needed more work.

no other indications of problems? Don't sweat it, but check your oil level & coolant level regularly...

ok i'll keep tabs on it..was just curious if I needed to save for a bottom build too...that would make a future moser 9" take even longer

if it was rings im pretty sure the smoke would be black or blue not white. I think your fine, ive watched quite a feq camemd dyno vids and at the end of the pull white smoke comes out.

eh could just be old age lol...i'm goning to take it to this guys house, he's a GM dealer mechanic, have him to do a leakdown test, since he has the equiptment, just to be sure before I go through with the top build.

Compression test because someone saw smoke coming out when you were revving it. . .
Overkill. Water level good? Oil level good? Car running fine? Was it morning or afternoon? Cool or warm? Dude, if its working, don't screw w/it.

Try to avoid reving the motor up like that when its not under some sort of load...

well I ain't gonna lie, my car is pretty much a POS... hate to say it, just rolled 160K today. Reverse pops out of gear ( needs rebuild ), motor runs OK but u can tell she's been around, clutch has siezed during a burnout at the track ( 1st and only pass, til I get it right ), the rearend seems to do a posi burnout about 1 out of every 10 spins lol....

but i'll keep it in mind, my bro-in-law backed his mazada 6 into the rear bumper last nite , took off a chunk of paint, sucks...damn

poor T/A has been through hell

could it have been moister condensation in the muffler?

my 1st guess would be condensation in the pipes. if it dont "use" oil then dont sweet it

i would say don't abuse it too much till you do the top end. i'm guessin those heads i shipped to you are part of that top end package?

yeah but i'm saving all my parts to do it all-at-once... I'm actually debating now on just getting a Texas Speed assembled engine, slap those heads on with a 230/230 cam, Wa-Lah, No Worries!!!

If you have the funds for the new motor do it! It's always nice having the extra security that ur money isn't gonna be wasted! Be careful and get the car done!

You might be pushing water from somewhere...Your head gaskets might be starting to go...I would monitor your coolant levels to see if that is your problem...But then again, it could be condensation if the car is sitting for a bit and then you rev it...
Just have your cousin follow behind you in another car and punch it to see if you get the same results...
