Background:

I bought my first DSM July 30th, 2020 and I have yet to touch it but I have been buying some parts that will be installed in the spring. I want to be able to daily this car in spring, summer and fall @ 350-420hp happily and reliably. Those are my goals to start, with some room to grow. I don't track cars or drag/street race so I'm really not looking to go crazy with the build. After I reach hp goals I will get it in the best shape I can. Paint correct, clean engine bay, wheels + tires, skirts, racing seats etc.


CURRENTLY: I haven't started the car in about a month and rarely do so as it sits until spring or until there is some nice weather. I haven't dove into the car myself since it's over an hour away from where I live but I have gathered a bit of info on some outstanding issues.

ISSUE(s): Right now it has some black smoke that comes out of the exhaust especially at first start then it kinda goes away. Cylinder 1 is leaking oil and I believe the spark plug had some oil on it as well.

SOLUTION(s): I'm looking to replace the valve seals and spark plugs. Someone mentioned pulling the oil pan to make sure everything looked good there too.
