Well, Lady Emma now has about 200 miles on the totally rebuilt engine.  Leaks
badly around the pan and I hope to get to that this week-end with some
permatex black.  But my questions is, How long does it take rings and things
to properly seat.  When I first start up, and until the engine is warmed up,
my oil pressure is in the 70-90 range.  Then as I drive it settles down into
the 40 -60 range.  I 'm thinking I have some blow-by til everything warms up.
 I am showing a lttle blue smoke on acceleration.  Any comments?  Thanks Fred
