Just got my 4r back from shop, put new engine and tranny in. when i accelerate to high rpms it feels like it misfires or studders. tonight i took it down to an easy trail, all was good until i put it into 4low and started going up a slant and from somewhere it started smoking. not sure what is going on so if anybody could shed some light that would be great

 

Could just be burning new stuff off. Fluid levels, colors, smells ok?

 

yeah tranny fluid looked clean and it wasnt cool all the way when i checked oil level so the level was hard to read but looked clean

 

engine oil is at level it looks clean but has metallics in it

 

i changed the oil a little over 100 miles and then ive driven it another 150 so probably gettin close to 300 miles. this is whats coming off of the dipstick when i just checked it

 

I've got a problem with my 22r smoking on steep hills. I think it's related to the 2 row timing chain and modified valve cover baffle from lce. I think oil gets slung on top of the baffle, then gets sucked through the pcv valve on inclines. Just a theory at this point. What timing chain / valve cover are you running?

 

everything is oem
