Went for another 40 mile shake down today. Only visibly saw a small bit of smoke when I jumped hard on the gas, otherwise nothing. I cleaned the plugs before I left; check again when I returned. They still look clean like they did when I checked them the first time.

I did look down number 8 cyl, which had the worse looking plug before I cleaned them. It even wasnt that bad, with a little brown oil on top of the piston. I know, if there is an issue, that it is on the right bank, as my father has followed behind me and noticed what smoke there was coming from the right side tail pipe.

Maybe the right cyl head wasnt as quality a job as the other and a valve/head job may be in line sometime in the future, not near future. I will go with 302s at that point, or milled 360 (smaller valve heads).

Sorry for the abundance of words; just trying to be descriptive.
