Armchair Mechanics? Oh You must be talking about the DeTomaso List. ;-]>

Thanks Russ but I am not on the DeTomaso List. I will share with the TPR group 
and hopefully someone will forward it to Dan and the List.

 Hi Dennis:
Could you please inform all of the armchair mechanics that if they don't know 
what they are talking about to please not stir the pot with their solutions. I 
will chime in and tell you that if the shop that assembled Dan's engine 
used (LOW TENSION OIL RINGS) it is highly possible for it to smoke out of the 
breathers at idle. That type of ring should never be used on the street. It 
should have standard tension rings in it. The reason they use that kind of ring 
is less friction on the cylinder wall for quick revs and it seals when the RPM 
is at 3500 or above resulting in more power.(AT LEAST THATS WHAT IT SAYS IN 
SMALL PRINT) Smile !
