Did you run it for long after the head overhaul? . It could be oil in the exhaust which can take a while to burn out . Or the cacuum modulator for the trans leaking and fluid is getting sucked into the .engine. Have tesred tge WURs diaphragm with a mity vac ? Have you tested the resistor in the WUR to check the resistance . It is in ihms,around 26 ohms across the two pins .
Hi Ron, thanks or writing. I drove it a little when the head was replaced but probably no more than 30 miles. I think it may be a PCV issue. They have something called a flame trap which could clog and cause this issue. The thought came to me at the end of the day but I will check it out when I get back.
Hi. There are a few reasons your V8 could be smoking. First thing to do is clean the flame trap thoroughly and add half a litre of ATF to your new oil (to quieten down those hydraulic tappets, they are 'loud'!!). Valve stem seals could be (and are) a problem on these, especially on a sparsely used car. You mentioned the oil felt very thin, this could be porous carburettor floats. They are plastic and it is common for one or BOTH to fill with fuel which leads to overfueling. Lastly and more concerning would be cylinder or ring wear, possible, but unlikely in your case as you mentioned it was fine before you parked it. Good luck and, if all else fails, fit that bombproof 606, much more reliable and cheaper to run👍🏻👍🏻😁 Adam.
@@WeeShoeyDugless Adam, thanks. It dawned on me towards the end of the dayt that the flame trap could be the issue. I will check it out and report back. Thanks for the feedback
