Just wondering if I'm missing something here. the motor in my 87 charger had puked a cylinder a year ago. I pulled the top end, pan etc. replaced the bad piston #3. Re-ringed everything using moly rings. On the top end I took the oppertunity to replace the valve stem seals. Also added +20 injectors
Put the motor back together , it seemed to run fine but rich with a bit of smoke, Cylinder 3 keeps fouling plugs. I got a adj FPR to take the fuel back to around 43# a/f meter seems like the motors happier. I then added a mopar 413 cam with the stock valve train parts and a Findaza adj cam pulley (cam centered at + 13 deg. ) Car still runs hot and smokes.
Tonight I was going over things and noticed when I went to rotate motor by hand it was near impossable...yes it was out of gear.
When I check compession I read 140, 145, 152, 150 repectively.
I checked with a leakdown tester and all good there and I pressured the cooling system up to 30 lbs no leaks.
Is this motor too tight are the rings still seating, am i missing something simple??
The motor only smokes under acceleration, and only boils over at shut down. other than that i could drive her all day with no problems.
Any ideas drop me a line
