Engine Mechanical problem
1999 Chevy Blazer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic
I just installed a totally rebuilt 4.3 vortex v6 engine, I proud to say it runs great, no noises, no leaks, great oil pressure and coolant. Now the prblem is the oil smoke out the tailpipe. I have followed the breakin procedures per the manual, driven it about 100 miles now, and when sitting at idle, at start up, and driving at slower speeds it smokes alot. I understand oil consumption during this time, but this much smoke does not seems normal to me at all. At hwy speeds it seems to not smoke, but when I slow down it begins again. Any ideas what to check or do now to fix this issue?
