did the Headgaskets about 3 weeks ago, had the heads milled by Cassel Engines. used Felpro 1003 headgaskets, 1205 intake gaskets and Remflex Header gaskets.

any ways im blowing lots of blue/white smoke. great big puff on start up and lots on idle. but it dont smoke once you start driving. The smoke is coming out the the exhaust and the right side valve breather filter. supposedly the engine has 3.3k miles on, i kinda believe that but then again i dont. i runs great and pulls hard just so so much smoke. i wanna say it used a almost a quart of oil in 70 miles. is it the rings? where they not done properly? guy said was driving kinda hard one day then bam smoke out of no where and hasnt stopped since then. im using delo 10w30 oil at the moment. guy also said he has no idea if the guy before who build it even did the valve seats. but he did say when he did the gaskets the pistons where far from stock and the head is not stock either. heres the craigslist add "hopefully he dont take it down since i got it" 1986 Z-28 Chevy Camaro Turbo Charged also sometimes it dont even smoke on start up or idle but some other times its like a 2 stroke v8. what do you guys think? compression test? i have basic knowledge but not too much advanced knowledge with my mechanic skills. and another thing its a automatic and its rigged up somehow where if you put it in drive or 2 you start out in one until you shift into 2 then drive. he said something about no "kickdown cable" is that bad for the car?

It could be the turbo. Oil pooling in the turbo and burning off.

I thought delo oil was for diesels.Anyway I would change the oil and filter right away and see if that helps.Do the cheap stuff first.I read somewhere delo clogs cats.I could be wrong.Heck,I 've been wrong 4 times this year already.My02.

ok a few more questions, what oil do you guys reccomand ive always been a fan of rotella 15w40? how much hp you think i have "15 psi boost"? and the car has no cats its all basically straight pipe to glass pack thats it. and sure move it to the turbo section if you think i can get more answers/help

had some people look at it and its the turbo, lots of shaft play and some others things wrong with the turbo that i dont remember what they said.
