some one takes a picture of a jeep and tags their jeep group asking

"Who's?"

Jeep runs awesome.. best idle and throttle response I can remember having ..
will hold 65 in 5th gear right around 2K RPM.. very happy with cam and setup.

Still fighting the oil cloud though..
Leak down test performed and engine passed 100%
compression test same results..

still have smoke after long idle

#3 spark plug was the only cyl that appeared to have an issue.

last resort will be to replace the valve seals this winter since that's the only thing it could be at this point aside from a crack or other machine issue..

That was the eagle head? I'd certainly suspect valve seals given what it looked like...

it was cleaned, fluxed and rebuilt...

human error always a possibility, or a bad seal...

Dig out trail box and recovery

Drive home from carter was uneventful and fun... some oil smell, but no smoke

Engine and Howell running (knock on wood) awesome
