Help Frustrated
I just started my 1.7 after an extensive rebuild including valves, valve guides, gaskets,bearings rings. I started the car today and it is leaking oil from the exhaust. I only let it run for about ten seconds. Any thoughts

I thought that at first since it was black at first. But it was spraying out, hitting the wall six feet away in a nice spray pattern.

Thanks for the responses, I have to go for now. One other bit of info, I never checked the pressure relief valve and I started the engine with most of the vacuum tubes not connected as I just wanted to see if it would start
