914's are kewl  Group: Members Posts: 1,776 Joined: 6-June 03 From: San Ramon, CA Member No.: 791 Region Association: Northern California  |
When travelling down a light grade (3-4%) this morning, my 74 2.0L let out quite a bit of smoke. Basically, I was in 3rd gear, roughly 3,000 RPM, foot OFF the gas, clutch pedal NOT depressed.
Where is this likely coming from? Something dripping on the heat exchangers? |

You need someone to drive behind you and have them determine if the smoke is coming from the tail pipe. What you describe(smoke on decel) indicates worn valve guides.

QUOTE(The Cabinetmaker @ Apr 19 2014, 04:32 PM)  You need someone to drive behind you and have them determine if the smoke is coming from the tail pipe. What you describe(smoke on decel) indicates worn valve guides. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) The engine will suck oil through the exhaust guides when off throttle. Get some one in back of you to check to see if it is coming from the exhaust. If that is the case you can put it is neutral until you choose to make the repair. BRuce |
