To ye wise gentlemen of the 914world.com BBS, I kneel before you (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) with the following observations.
First, if I may, I must say thanks to the man above me for selling me a strong running 1.7L engine. Most importantly, a running engine that also appears to be pretty free of leaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) Second, after driving the car for 10-20 minutes the car idles hard. Meaning, I feel as though I'm sitting in an old Vette and with every turn of the engine, I rumble. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Third, at times, especially right after putting in the engine, when I start the car a nice pretty puff of white smoke shoots out of my exhaust pipe. This could be cool if I could get it to produce one BIG WHITE SMOKE RING, but I cant. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) So, heres what I think, and trust me what I think ....well I wont say. I need a tune up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) -any links to a good tune up discussion on dis here board? Otherwise, all is pretty well and thanks to everyone on the board for knowing more than anyone should about these cars. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dance.gif) |

I thought "white smoke" meant a cracked block, and coolant leaking into the combustion chamber. . . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
