Alright, rear main seal is leaking on the new setup, but my motor is still blowing smoke, white smoke so thats oil whenever you get into the gas, smoke isnt consistent, i have restrictor in the oil feed line, would the rear main leaking cause it to smoke at all?

i prolly should mention it is a fresh rebuild but its got id say a lil more then 100 miles on it now so rings shoudl be seated its just weird becuz it isnt consistent

i dont see how it could be coolant, i have that brand new cometic 4 ply .060 but smoke has blueish tint to it, is there any other way you can burn coolant? other then head gasket?

bad block? not sure how your passages are for the coolant but they could be mixing with a cylinder.
