I recently did a total rebuild on a TR4 motor which included installation of
an 87mm piston & sleeve kit.  After putting approx. 5hrs  (200 mi.) on the
fresh motor I am blowing a lot of blue smoke on acceleration.  The rings do
not appear to have seated. When I assembled the pistons I used white assemby
lube in the sleeves.  Was this a mistake?
Does anyone have an idea how long it should take these rings to seat, or am I
overlooking something?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.
