How extensive a rebuild? Full, ground up? After a full rebuild its pretty much a brand new engine and needs to be broken in. If its done improperly you can screw up a lot of stuff. Perfect example, I was watching Fast N' Loud a few weeks ago and they tried to take a short cut and use regular oil with a break-in additive. Ended up having to rebuild it again and then used the proper break-in oil, expensive stuff.

It was a full rebuild. I asked the guy who rebuilt it an he said it could be the intake gasket or head gaskets. There is no water in the oil or oil in the water so could he be telling me the truth or just trying get me off his back? Ill try n get some pics but u can see lil metal specks on the dipstick..

Ok ill change the oil and look at it should i cut the filter open and look in it to? What kind if oil should i put back in it? could the intake gasket cause oil on the spark plugs and hopefully b my only problem if there isnt much metal shavings in the oil? And could the original problem with its high idel at 2500 3000 rpm have caused a bigger issue?

Ok. Yes the high idle was after the rebuild he said he couldnt figure it out so i changed every sensor i could think of that would effect it and wound up being the throtle body. That really sucks if its going to be piston rings or valve issues
