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? |

I would also suggest pulling spark plugs and identifying if you have one offending cylinder, or more than one. If it is just one, they you are isolating to "why" that particular one is problematic (valve guide, intake issue etc..). If all 2 are bad and 2 are good (hopefully on the same side) then you trouble shoot from there.
