I had a new 350 engine built up with Edelbrock Aluminum heads and a high pressure oil pump. I mash the gas yesterday and when I got to about 450RPM a big cloud of smoke comes into the cabin. That kinda freaked me out.
So today I start slowly increasing engine RPM while under the hood and sure enough it starts smoking again. I see the bottom back valve cover bolt are spewing oil. It looks to be forced out the hole because in one engine rev I was able to get oil to drip onto the floor. This doesn't look to be just dripping out of the valve cover.
So what's causing such a high pressure in the engine? I have a PVC valve hooked to the carb and another line from the valve cover that doesn't have the PVC valve to the air cleaner. I would have thought that would take care of and pressure.
I would replace the valve cover gaskets but I don't think that will help if the oil is being forced out. What do I do?
