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?  |

OK - happy to repost that I did some more testing via driving like I stole it.
Oil level slightly too full. Hard left turn held at speed - nothing. Hard right turn held at speed - oil smoke for about 15 seconds that clears. Looks more passenger side exhaust that driver side but the exhausts enter into a common muffler. I’m not getting smoke of throttle lift off - so straight line to 5,000 rpm and then lift off does not smoke. |
