I have found that this is the best place to troubleshoot one's problems and greatly appreciate all past help and comments.
I bought a truck awhile back with a 318 that was "recently overhauled" before he was forced to sell due to bankruptcy. Everything went fine for about 1500 miles. Now it smokes and is burning oil. I'm guessing it could be valve guides but will do a compression check this weekend. Here's the clues: No smoke at startup but starts smoking after about 5-6 miles once it is warmed up. It runs great and has good oil pressure (25 @ idle/ 70 @ speed). No oil in the water or water in the oil. Other than the smoke and oil consumption it is still a great running engine. Any guesses as to where to start looking? Thanks in advance.
