[TR] engine rebuild follow on

[John Gillis]

Dear all,
As I suspected my re-built engine, although running and starting very  
well has a few issues, can I try these two out on the list. I  
mentioned after the initial start up about a smokey oil filler which  
seemed to go away, well its back and not going away, once I run the  
engine I am getting smoke back through the filler after turning off.  
I guess this is either valves or rings, hopefully the former. The  
second is a dripping of water from the underside of the water pump,  
this was a NOS item, can the pump leak or must it be from the gasket  
area?. Starting to have visions of me pulling the engine apart before  
I even drive the thing, don't know if I can face this, anyway all  
advice welcome.
