I recently installed engine on my 914. It's been sitting in the garage for about 6 months. When I started it I noticed a lot of white smoke coming out of exhaust . It's less now than initial start up. Is the white smoke something I should worry about. Thanks

Drive it. If it goes away your probably okay. Where did the engine come from? Fresh rebuild or stored for a long time?

It's an engine I purchased from a friend, he had it a few years. He would run it occasionally. He sold it with dual 44 carbs. (unknown brand) will post pics maybe you guys can I.D Anyways he was doing a v8 conversion and didn't need engine anymore. |
