shacks510 Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 Just use the string and pull it through the window. Drive it like that. Or just zip tie the throttle wide open and take it for a rip. 1 Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted August 2, 2017 Report Share Posted August 2, 2017 I drove my 521 90 miles with only the ebrake working. I think you could rig up a string and pulleys for the throttle... Quote Link to comment

Thats because i dont like to drive like that. Fix it right or dont drive it at all, but hey thats just me. I would rather be a trailer queen then do that. 5 Quote Link to comment

racerx Posted August 3, 2017 Report Share Posted August 3, 2017 Is the white smoke when u first start it in the morning or constant? Check your dip stick, maybe oil and water got mixed, hope not. Quote Link to comment

Check your dip stick, maybe oil and water got mixed, hope not. Its while running it could be valve seals. Just want to drive it first and go from there. Checked dipstick so far so good.

heywier427 Posted August 4, 2017 Report Share Posted August 4, 2017 Maybe its just been sitting for WAY TOO LONG and it needs to be properly massaged back into correctness with a good firm right foot. 5 Quote Link to comment
Draker Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Put some miles on it. Rings could be stuck. 1 Quote Link to comment
shacks510 Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Smoke under load is rings smoke when you get off the gas is valve seals.wouldn't bad rings cause blow by and smoke out the breathers? My short block has 3k miles and burns oil under accel. No oily messes from the breathers. I think it's valve guides. Changed the seals and it still burns. I think valves are wobbling in the guides, distorting the seals and sucking in oil. Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted August 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 Smoke under load is rings smoke when you get off the gas is valve seals. I,think it is valve seals. Once throttle bracket is installed I will kill the shit out of it. 2 Quote Link to comment
