Ok. The shelby I just got is smoking. Once I start it, it takes about 1min and it will start puffing smoke. If I start to drive, its still there some while the oil is cold and thick. Once it warms some, I can keep it from smoking by keeping the motor reved up about 1500. Otherwise, if I decel with the motor, or sit at a stop light at idle for more than 10 sec, it starts to puff. It wont do it under accel or just crusing. I am thinking its the valve guides and when its not in as much vac, it wont pull the oil though the guide and into the combustion chamber.
What do you guys think? HELP
The motor is completly rebuilt. And the head had the valve seals done, but not the guides which is why I suspect them and not the turbo.
