So me and my friend had a stupid idea to try and color my valve cover. So after the deed was done we drove it from Garland to Dalllas and when we got to the destination the engine was smoking and we tried to put oil in again so we could get home. Then we got home it ran out of oil again. My question is, what happened to make it go like that?

+ did you evenly torque down the valve cover nuts at 17 ft-lb using a torque wrench?
+ did you reconnect the breather lines properly? -------------------- Mike W
