make sure the pick gasket didn't slip on it when installing could be sucking air and make the pressure low and make sure all the plugs are in had that happen on a 302 years back

Well took the intake off, lifters were in backwards Embarassed that problem solved running about 30 lbs oil pressure,smoking like crazy out of exhaust number 1 and 3 plugs oil soaked.Getting alot of blowby out of breathers,going to try evac system hopefully that will help.Might be a day or two before I get back to it just spent weekend in hospital with chest pains affraid feel like a damn pin cushion

I'd figure out why it has all the blowby rather than putting a evac on it............
