left the engine running for a while (maybe 20 minutes or so) to test the aux-air valve (which seems to be broken, doesn't close completely) and once the engine was hot, it started to spit oil out of the exhaust.
little spreckles on the floor. quite a few. what's wrong ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) i know the valves need adjustement badly. could that be it? Andy |

QUOTE(MarkV @ Jul 6 2003, 12:59 PM) It isn't possible for raw oil to be coming out of your tail pipe w/out a $$it load of blue smoke. It might feel oily & probably has some black soot in it but it but it is not raw oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) that's what i thought too, but i have 2 oil-puddles on each side (manta exhaust), enough to make you slip and brake your neck (about a coffe cup full of oil on each side), just from running (idle) for 15 minutes or so. that seems way too much for anything condensation i have ever seen before. and it does smell and feel like oil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) could a bad piston ring let that much oil pass by? any other way the oil could make it into the exhaust? and again, it only starts after the engine has warmed up. ahhhhhh, so close and now that!
