March Engine Start



Started the truck this AM and let it run about 5 mins, shut it off, then took this video. It seems the engine is smoking less and it is not leaving the oil on the floor it was before.  Don't get me wrong I have no false hope on this ... it, at the least, needs a re ring and/or valve job. I plan on starting it often to watch the out come of the oil leaking from the exhaust. If that clears up I would say the re torque was the cure for that. I think it will take a while for the oil to burn out of the exhaust to really be sure. Less to no oil dripping out of the muffler is a good sign! After a few days of starting and if things clear up I will pull the plugs and check them again.
