12.Tighten the oil pan mounting nuts and bolts starting from the center bolt next to the oil drain plug (bolt No. 1) and work clockwise, tightening the bolts in three steps. Tighten the bolts to 10 ft. lbs. (14 Nm).

So after goin down the track my girlfriend n friends said that i had a puff of black smoke come out the exhaust. So i noticed it's only doin this when i get my RPM's in the red line section. It'll start around 7 or 8 rpm's then i shift. Y is it blowing black puffs of smoke? 
It's not continiously blowing it it's only when i hit high rpm's then i shift n it's fine. Wat can it b?

In my opinion i dont think so a little smoke dont hurt nobody. Running really rich yea its bad, but at top end you should be fine. Just make sure your not blowing smoke like a turbo diesel. Getting a good tune can take care that. I rather be running a little rich up top then lean. Yea i was talking about your piston rings.

If the fuel is not getting burnt is that bad? N wat rings? Piston rings?

Changing piston rings requires taking the engine apart and removing the pistons changing the oil and compresson rings then honing the cylinders then. Reassembly. Can be complicated depending on your mechanical skills.
