Leakdown test won't tell you anything about the oiling problem but if your smoke was from too much fuel you should be covered.

I hade oil around the threads of the spark plugs. Said it could be bad valve stem seals or guide seals. So that is my next step.

Bad valve seals can smoke alot too, usually when you nail the throttle from a roll, say 45mph. It will make a cloud then slowly go away as you keep accelerating.

So, how rich did they say your tune was?

They worked with it for a while, it had a hard time getting back to idle when i came to a stop and they got that worked out as well. Over all love what they did.

Either way, damn nice to hear you didn't have to go through a rebuild like I did when my rings were washed out.

I will be returning for any other work I need done.

Thanks Bret, we appreciate it! Bob
