Well I found out why my engine was smokeing and I had a lot of crankcase pressure. I pulled the engine and tore down the top end. I found that I had too much end gap on the rings, thought that I was sent the wrong rings(ordered 85.5 rings) but the 6" caliper showed that the piston/cylinders I used on it where 87mm. I had a 1641 and didn't even know it. Now I hope I can find a set of rings for 87's tomorrow and I will been running before dark. that is what you get when you are in a hurry and don't set the end gap on the rings.
