https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib4VMyWAwl8 Got Matt's car running this weekend after a few years down. 123 ignition installed and timed. Valves adjusted. Car is a 1.7 with stock injection. Its blowing prodigious amounts of white smoke when the engine is under load. I did not check compression. Matt assumes a vacuum leak, which is certainly possible. Curious notes: all the valves were tight EXCEPT the valves for cylinder 3, which were in spec. Okay brain trust. What'ca got? Zach |

Was the engine properly hot when the smoke occurs?
-Old gas -Oil in the exhaust/cylinders that needs to burn off (a few hours of driving) -Worn valve guides and or piston rings. |
