alright, the smoke is starting to concern me. Intermittently (more accurately after I come from a 60mph cruise at 2.5k) I see smoke when I stop and idle. The sheer volume of smoke is what is concerning me. The oil level itself is not affected all that much by the volume of smoke it looks like, but it does cause me to think it an odd occurrence and would like to remedy the problem as soon as possible. Could the smoke be caused by the oil control rings not being completely worn in yet (though, that would not make any sense since the oil control rings were installed on the same locations on the rotor they were pulled from).
Thinking more acutely a possibility is that the used rear iron I installed, and the old oil control rings have not completely worn to each other yet causing slight portions of oil at the increased oil pressure to squeeze by and thereby causing the smoke. This would account for the 40 deg F lower operating temperature I see at most RPMs for the rear rotor, and for the smoke. The only other possibility would be that the oil injectors are working overtime and dump in too much oil because of increased oil pressure and no check valve installed to avoid positive pressure on the vacuum lines.
Thoughts?
