Hmm... The jury is still out. It runs strong..but. It blows a little oily smoke after accelerating. You can see the puff of smoke (sometime pretty much a quick smoke screen) out of the right exhaust. Seems to be getting worse not better. I always have a oily smell in car from exhaust. The motor has no external leaks. As of Friday, a lifter started a serious chatter that comes an goes. We check the rockers and they were not making the noise. I have roughly 800-1000 miles on the motor and I broke it in exactly like they said to and used their recommended oil. The motor has a lot more power than it used to but I am not happy about the issues. I am going to pull the motor and take it to them since they are local. They said they would correct the problem under warranty. We will see.
