You are definitely petting in some idle time, I would hope your tuner could get you a driving tune so you can break that thing in. Your up into the hour mark for idle time on those rings.

Hopefully you can get those rings to seal. When I was building my motor I talked to Total Seal and they said you need to get a load on the rings within the first 20 minutes. Otherwise you miss the chance to seal the rings correctly. I'm running stainless top rings though.

I was finally able to watch the video. When you said everywhere I was thinking it was coming from valve covers, timing cover, etc. I'd have to agree with Texasblown about it just being normal blow by. Although last year at the Fabulous Fords Forever there was a guy with a twin turboed 04 Cobra that had a MMR shortblock. (don't shoot me, it was his car) Just idling his car would put out twice as much smoke as your's. And he tried to say it was because it's a turbo car.

I hope too thanks , right now my tuner asked me to do compression test cuz the car is actually adding in fuel and o2 sensors are new and work fine , and he wanna know if the cams installed correctly "This will tell you if one cam is installed wrong (this is very very common)" , hope the test will not effect badly on anything
