First of it took me and my father-in-law three days. Since the cam install the car will shake when it is idleing, is this normal with my cam? Second thing is I am having smoke come out of my exhaust when driving down the road. I can also small some oil burning, which I am sure is the result of the smoke. What would be causing this?


Thanks a million to Larry for hooking me up with the valve spring tool!!!!!!!!!

What cam is it? Did you have any white smoke before the install on start-up or wide open throttle?

It is a Futral cam 226/226 114. I didn't have any smoke before the install.

The oil smell could be just the oil fingerprints you left in the engine. Those will burn off soon enough. The smoke coming out of your exhaust could posibbly be that you're running rich. A tune will take care of that.
Worst thing that could have happened is if you changed your valve stem seals and did not install them properly maybe oil is going into the cylinder and that's what's causing the smoke

Looks like I might even have some oil residue on the bumper? We didn't change anything on the springs other then the spring itself. I had it tuned but done it by mail. Maybe he didn't do a good job.

find a good tuner is my first thought, send it to alan, its his cam so he will probably mail tune it best.

every big cam car has residue on the bumper that i have seen if they still have full exhuat.
