New Engine
« on: May 07, 2012, 11:47:47 am »
I just put a brand new engine in my car and did the break in procedure on it.  I also ran motorcycle 10w-30  break in oil in it.  During the first race when I would let off going into the turns, my crew noticed it would smoke a little and did it for the whole race.  Anyone ever had this happened before or know what may be causing it?

Did you find any oil leaks?
Oil level perhaps too full?

Probably a loose fitting somewhere
