Hi guys
I have a 308 motor which is from around 1969.
History on the motor was it was running well but was taking oil although not smoking at all. Previous owner removed motor to install a big Chev motor.
The 308 stood for about 5 years before I got it. Motor had to be freshened up, so I stripped and installed new rings, bearings. Engineer confirmed bore had less than 10thou wear so I decided to go the cheap route and just reringed the piston.
I installed new valve stem seals being the little O ring. And yes the O rings are installed correctly for the Holden motor. Sadly though its not sealing well as on cold start i get lots of smoke until its warm and then no smoke.
I am not ready to pull the heads to redo the valves so looking for a cheaper option. I have head of the umbrella seals from a ford that can be used. Question is which ford motor is that, Ford 302 or 351 or some other?
If anyone has some experience or knowledge in this area would appreciate it.
Thanks
