[FC] smoking engine

[Merv Krull]

I have heard of an engine that was rebuilt with the oil control rings 
installed upside down, essentially dragging oil up into the combustion 
chamber...????
good luck!

OK guys I did something I KNOW Ishouldn't have done. I put a late model 110 
in the rampside. But before I did I took off top cover and oil pan gasket 
and valve covers to check it out. The innerds were spotless. I took the 
chance and just did a reseal job. Engine started right up. Runs quiet and 
strong.Compression checks are all above 100, but this is for my everyday 
driver. Problem is it just pours oil smoke out the exhaust. What did I miss?
I know I should have done a complete teardown,but I took a chance.

Thanks, Mike Emanuele
