    Exhaust Leak

    in Engine Tech

    Posted

    There's no residue anywhere that i can see

     

    It sounds like a pen hitting a desk

     

     

    It's coming from the drivers side someplace

     

    What if i sprayed PB blaster on each of them and see if it bubbles?

    They redid the heads on the east coast at a shop completely, i helped put it back together at the shop.

     

    I didn't touch the bottom end or the pistons, i didn't have any money left lol.

     

     

    before i did the heads i did a compression test and all of them were at 150 before and after. I don't know do you guys thing that it could've worn sinse march?

     

    The oil that was in there was nasty when i changed it, and last night it didn't look to good either.

     

    It's running great though, and it's not smoking when i start it.

     

    It's old and hasn't really been rebuilt well or taken care of, it doesn't suprise me that it's burning oil.

     

    When i get home i'll take the valve covers off and see.

     

    This is nothing compared to when i first got the car, i literally went through 2 1/2 quarts of oil in one day, it smoked like crazy. I'm pretty sure the guy that sold it to me put stop leak in it so i'd buy it. Almost all of the gaskets were nasty.

     

    Anyone else burn oil?

     

    It seems like a pretty common thing for an old 350 that's been stroked by a couple of morons in a garage, i'm just being realistic

     

    If i can put a quart in here and there i'm happy.

     

    If this is going to get worse, how long am i looking at?

    I just went outside and checked my oil and it was on the first D in add on the dipstick.

     

    It's not dripping, so it must be burning

     

    I redid the heads in he end of march and i changed my oil on 8/28

     

    I'm pretty hard on it but i don't max it out, or rev like a maniac in parking lots.

     

    You guys know, average teenage muscle car owner abuse, minus power braking, reving, and power sliding .

     

    The block has 125k miles on it and most of the gaskets are fairly new.

     

    I know that it's normal to burn a little oil here and there but that much?

     

    I put a quart in tonight and it was 3/4 filled. It seemed a little dark too. i don't know

     

    any ideas?
