I have a 3.2 1985 carerra motor in my 914...Great power, great fun... The problem. It smokes while idle...but mainly after it has warmed up. When under load, and when I lay into it, no smoking?
Could this be a vacume issue, oil distribution issue? easy fix you think? Or do I face facts.....need valve guides? valve seals? or engine overhaul (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) Could anyone suggest? Craig |

It’s got to be the record. Dan did a major engine overhaul, and found the rod bearings to be the culprit, while replacing the valve guides while in.
Runs like a top ever since and is the reliable bullet proof 3.2 liter we all have come to expect. Perhaps I’ll finally get out and meet the motley crew at some point. Always appreciate. |

Hey are you in Folsom? I am on the other side of Lake Natoma. How does a rod bearing turn into smoking at idle? Because it causes the rings to unseat perhaps? I had a bad rod bearing and I didnt even know until I tore down the motor for valve guides due to smoking on decel. |
