Hey guys,
I've been trying to figure out why I'm having a strong oil smoke smell during deceleration in our freshly rebuilt 95. I haven't been able to find anything loose or missing in the engine compartment. The truck does't smoke during start up and doesn't seem to while driving.
The only modification to the engine is the 90* Ford filter adapter. The head was rebuilt about 3,000 miles before the long block-both were rebuilt by the same shop and I put them back together.
I'm not sure if or how much oil consumption there may be. I will have to check on that. I'm on my second batch of oil after the rebuild using Rotella and the special zinc break in additive.
Is there a pcv valve or something else I should be looking at?
