Need advice on getting rings to seat in my new 2.0. It is still smoking after it gets warmed up. It has about 500 miles on it now. The motor has total seal rings in it and I am thinking that they or one of them has not seated. I have Rotella oil in now but it didnt help much. Any advice on what I could do to help.
Thanks
