Happy Sunday folks, hope it’s been a good weekend so far.
Got the shifter squared away, I’ll go back and update that thread in a minute, so I was able to properly drive this thing today and it pulls really well but as part of shaking it down I was really motoring and in a hard left turn the engine will smoke for 15 seconds or so and then clear. Not on right hand turns and not in a straight line, but it does it pretty consistently on a hard left. I’m assuming that’s related to the oil being forced to the right side of the engine, and maybe getting sucked into the combustion chamber via the head? Maybe? Kind of? Sort of? |

Were the heads rebuilt at the same time? Are these right and lefts in the twisties, or around town. If around town, commonly a right turn does not last as long as a left turn, and I usually will take them faster then a right turn. If the valve guides are worn out it could get in that way. Are you running it high on oil?
