Galen Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I've picked up a 2nd engine. It's a GT bottom end, has steel headgasket and rings and bearings were done few years back and not much mileage on it since.I know the lad who had it after the rebuild and he said it was fine. He then sold it on to another fella that used it for 1 month while forging his own.He says it had oil and smoke out the rocker breather but ran fine otherwise.The engine has been sitting for a year or 2 since he took it out.I have a 1.2mm athena headgasket here so was thinking of taking off the head, doing the piston rings and putting that engine into my car to get it back on the road asap.What could be the cause of oil and smoke out the breather anyway? My own engine always throws bit of oil out the breather but then it has 300,000kms on it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
