smoking 360

Havn't found anyone I can trust around here to advise me except you guys in A-body. I still wonder why part of the time it didn't smoke since rebuild. I'm gonna take the intake off tomorrow and see what things look like underneath. One thing to mention that I've been thinking about today is that when we were getting rid of rocker clatter and changing push rods for correct length, the oil was flying freely to the inside of fender wells and next to intake gaskets. That was before I tightened intake bolts down and before I saw that they were lose. You say over torqueing intake bolts will crack the gasket. I may have over tightened them, but don't think so. I havn't checked spark plugs yet. Anyway, I'll see what it all looks like tomorrow...
