newly rebuilt engine and SMOG check
i have just gotten a rebuild on my FD and my SMOG check is overdue by almost 7 months. i was told by my mechanic to break it in for a 1000 miles and then smog it.
does anyone know if i can pass with only 50 miles on the new engine? i was pulled over last night because of the registration--or lack there of. the cop was nice enough not to take the car and just issued me a fix-it ticket.
thanks

Visual will be a problem if you don't have all your smog equipment and you're going to an unknown friendliness smog shop. I failed visual at one of those types of shops with only a DP, so beware. Lots of other folks have passed in similar situations because the tech just didn't care. Probably best to find a friendly shop and go there just to avoid any trouble.
As for whether or not you'll pass...with only 50 miles, it's possible, but also depends on whether you've got a precat and main cat, as well as the rest of your smog gear (air pump, etc.). I think you might be able to go to a smog shop have have them sniff your car as a pre-test to see how bad off you are...if you pass, go for the real deal

thanks for the input guys...i have all the smog stuff on. i failed smog mainly because the rear rotor was shot, in fact the housing was cracked due to detonation.
i think i will have it pre-tested soon. i will feel better though if i had a few hundred miles on the engine.
thanks again
