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 |

I may have been the last one that helped Matt with his car before you Zach. That was several years ago.
Agree with checking on the age of the gas. Treat existing gas with Star-Tron, fill up with fresh gas and bang a can of Sea Foam in there as well. Aside from the smoke, did it run well? If so, I'd run it a little and see if things clear up before digging too deep. Let me know if you guys need a hand with anything. |
