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:confused:

out of the tail pipe......how bad was it "leaking"....was it like poring out??
maybe some residual oil left in the headers and muffler

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.

yes out of the tailpipe

sorry to hear that...pull the plugs and see if one is coated with oil

If it is, what will that indicate?

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

to see if one of the cyl is passing oil or all of them..

FI or carbs.....

Does any one have a link or digram on how to install the tenions bars for the engine lid?
