1992 chevy Silverado rebuilt engine

Asked by Jay Jul 10, 2020 at 08:08 PM about the 1992 Chevrolet C/K 1500 Silverado LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

5.7 tbi block and heads sent to machine shop.
Rebuild kit ordered specifically for this engine and
its bore. Reason for rebuild was a blowed head
gasket that locked the motor up. Upon cranking my
newly rebuilt engine which has only 10 miles on it.
Once it warms up there is white smoke which isn't
bad unless I rev the motor up. Checked all fluids
everything is good. Drives like a new truck sounds
great. Just concerned about this white smoke.
Could it be that the all these new parts aren't broke
in yet? Asking for help. Just for the info I thought
cause of the blowed head gasket that I might have
coolant build up in my catalytic converter. So we
cut it out. Still smokes. Again, just a little when
idling but clouds when accelerating.

Maybe the rings did not seat or you have a coolant leak into the engine. If your intake manifold has a coolant crossover make sure it is not leaking. Monitor the coolant level.

I've been doing all that coolant level hasn't moved only thing I've found is a powersterring leak that is very slow. When you say the rings haven't seated does that mean not broke in
