What does your v4 engine coolent temp run at and how much oil do you burn.
My new rebuild (mile 50) runs at 195-210, avg 200 degrees-seems hot to me. I rebuilt it with deves engineered piston rings and she blow lots of black smoke at idle, give it some reves and seems to go away. Also my heads have been ground down so much that it really leaks oil bad from the valve covers, doubling the cork gaskets sort of helped. Thoughts or remedies?
its a 69 95 with nothing balanced,1.7 crank, deves rings, .032 over pistons, high output oil pump(30-60 psi) ford ranger valves, heads exhaust ports matched exhaust manifolds, holly 40mm carb with unknown jet, elec fuel pump, a 24x16x1.5 inch alum radiator, electric 12 inch fan, stock type silencer, 2.5"x2'glass pack, sounds great lots of power, zero to 60 in 12 sec
