Hi,
my name is Michael and I just got a 1968 GT500 428 PI. The previous owner sold me the car with a ,,just rebuilt engine". From what I can see from the outside all gaskets and stuff is really new but the car burns oil (I can smell it and from time to time theres a blue cloud passing by when I stop at a red light. The valve stem seals just have been redone, no change.
Also the car does overheat, I changed thermostat, put an Edelbrock HiPo water pump, put a new 3 row radiator, a new fan clutch - still the car does overheat.
Maybe anyone of you has an idea? I really love the Shelby but since I got it it drives me crazy insted of bringing me joy and fun...
Thanks
Michael
