I have a 3.2 1985 carerra motor in my 914...Great power, great fun... The problem. It smokes while idle...but mainly after it has warmed up. When under load, and when I lay into it, no smoking?
Could this be a vacume issue, oil distribution issue? easy fix you think? Or do I face facts.....need valve guides? valve seals? or engine overhaul (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Could anyone suggest? Craig |

The common knock on 3.2s is valve guides....
Depending on your intake and how the oil tank is plumbed you maybe be sucking oil from the tank. Do you run it real full or about a quart low? |

QUOTE(! @ Mar 2 2005, 03:59 PM)  The common knock on 3.2s is valve guides.... Depending on your intake and how the oil tank is plumbed you maybe be sucking oil from the tank. Do you run it real full or about a quart low? That is an old thread bump! I would agree with this, 3.2's were common for smoking due to valve guides. Also seen on a number of 911's and 914-6's the oil was 1-3 Qts overfilled. |
