Re: 68 Z/28 Engine Smoking - Any Ideas?
I would ask who did the rebuild and what type of piston rings were used, end gaps, piston to wall clearance, low tension oil rings or standard? Did they install valve stem seals when the heads were rebuilt, were the valve guides replaced, new valves, etc. How were the cylinder walls honed, what grit, on what type of machine?
