  • Issue after issue...

    I changed my gaskets out on crankcase covers on both sides. And did everything right. I add 2 quarts of oil, run it for about 25 seconds, shut it off and add the other 2. When I ran it again I seen slight smoke coming off the exhaust pipe where I had taken it off at manifold, I'm assuming it was from all the oil, grease and parts cleaner that was on it that I had attempted to wipe off. But it smelled almost like plastic. My main issue is I checked the oil level. And there's almost no oil on the dipstick. No idea what is going on but I'm getting irritated with it now

    Don't worry about anything! It is just burning off all the oil and grease from your hands, etc. And never wipe a hot exhaust with a microfiber towel, it will melt. And never look at the dipstick. It will always be off and play with your head. Where would the oil have gone? It didn't leak and it didn't burn so it's still in the engine. 4 quarts in, 4 quarts out and don't check it until the next oil change.

      Did you use those shitty green gaskets or did you get OEM good gaskets? Did you prep the surface perfectly get everything clean so there was no old gas material or sealant anywhere? If so and you're not leaking you're fine.

        I started it and ran it again and this time ran down the road on it, and seen oil leaking back out again on left side. Going to have to take it in most likely to dealer. I'm feeling like hands tied behind my back. I noticed this black mark on the top of gearbox area too, by the fins of the motorblock. Unsure if something was burned there or if something is overheating
