Project C4, 85 Corvette

[Steve85]

Father's Day presents:

Oil pressure - pretty much since the beginning this engine has struggled with it. Never getting over 35 and after a while of driving down to 12 at idle.

Smoke removal - again since the beginning, bluish white smoke from the exhaust, quite a bit. Maybe that's where my oil pressure is, in the combustion chamber.

Lower temps - because it's a carb manifold with injector bungs, holes that would be used to bring coolant to the rear of the heads are being used for temp sensors.

I am more than disappointed with the original builder who did the manifold conversion and the short block assy. They had problems getting the block from Brodix, serious delays in the build due to turnover and starting a trucking company and so on...

So in the interest of time, I have none, and reliability I will have a local shop refresh the motor and it will be run in on their dyno before installation.
