Default got the cam in

after a LOOOONG day of working on my lovely ss we (jason, my cousin and my self) finally finished her up and got her started. it fired up right away and had a decent and stock like idle. unfortunatly on the way home i was leaving nice sized smoke screens (james bond kinds). once we got to my house i opened up the hood and from what it looks like

EDIT: LONG STORY SHORT...valve cover wasnt on right

Oil doesn't leak from spark plugs.... It must be something else in that area. Someone might be able to tell you what it is but my LS1 knowledge isn't the greatest.

+1, someone either forgot to reinstall their PCV or tighten down their valve covers

Holy Cow, how can you do a cam swap and not know that oil can't leak from a spark plug?

This is signature quote material.
