RED-Z06 2,248 #27 Posted June 26, 2023 If it had the 3pc oil control rings...if you overlap the ends of the expander instead of butting them, itll smoke pretty badly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jon Paulsen 290 #28 Posted June 26, 2023 I'd get that cover off again, get the connecting rod cap off again, and see what that the cap and the crank journal look like. What did you do besides replace the piston and rod? What color is the smoke? What's it sound like? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
