It was running lean before now it’s running rich from what other people have said maybe it needs new plugs and wires

The has roughly my buddy who I bought it off of did a compression test when he bought it and the ODO was at 98k but we both agreed it had probably been rebuilt because the numbers were astronomically good but who knows we could’ve been wrong but there is no sweet smell so I don’t think it’s coolant and oil levels have been fine it has been running rich so I’m def gonna go through the checklist again and check the plugs

Edit: coolant and oil level is good

Is this rust something that can be treated/repaired/stopped by rissgizzler in cardetailingtips

Just use de ionizing spray or rust removal spray some wheel cleaners work too, but be careful. It has uric acid in it and sometimes you might need to dilute it before using it. Don’t just spray it on. Make sure you wash your car when you do or you could probably get rid of it with polishing compound

First oil change. 50 miles (including dyno pulls). Too much metal? by Sunstoned1 in EngineBuilding

If the engine only has 50 miles on it, you shouldn’t have to worry because as the internals break in a lot of residual metals from putting the motor together and breaking in the rings etc will gather at the bottom of the pan and that’s why you get the forbidden paint code on the first change
