I just had a set of 40 overs insatlled and it ran great for the first day, then this morning I started the truck and it was very shakey and smokey, took it down to the dealership and there was smoke coming from under the hood, the tech pulled the dip stick and smoke came bellowing out.:mad:Please help

I dropped it off at the dealers, the tech is going to start with a compression check monday morning and go from there, what a tease it was running great yesterday, I don't get how this could happen overnight?

Also could be that they didn't tighten them down enough with the hold downs, since you have an LB7 it would leak compression into the valve covers etc.

I hate to say it but you are going to find some hold downs broke. I bet you have the ones with the incorrect nuts. I had that problem three different times before I went back to stock hold downs. Run a compression test and you will find the cylinders that are the problem. Take them out if that's the problem and send them back to Guy.

It will boil smoke out the vent pipe on the front of the motor. If you take the oil cap off I'm sure it will do it there also. They will continue to break so don't replace the broken ones and keep the good ones. Just return them. I do all my engine work and believe me taking it apart four times in ten days isn't any fun.
