Smokin' Poly



Hey everyone, I'm back after a terrible week in Cancun. All that bright 
sun, all those those gorgeous bathing beauties, all those free drinks 
...almost more than a man can take!!! HAHAHA!!

Anyway...The REAL subject of this is my recently smokin' poly. Within 
the last couple of weeks I started noticing smoke when cruising and now 
on decel too...especially out of the drivers side. It's definitely oil 
smoke and it seems to have gotten a little worse since I changed from 
Mobil 1 to Rotella.

So I'm trying to figure out of I've got rings or valve guides going out 
or a blown head gasket? The motor just turned over 81,000 miles so I'm a 
little leary of just re-doing the top end for fear of blowing out the 
bottom end. Do you think I would be OK by just pulling the heads and 
replacing the head gaskets if necessary? Or should I probably plan on a 
full rebuild &/or build up??

Next question is...whose the best source for poly motor gaskets and 
rebuilt parts these days?

Thanks
