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 |

I agree with Mark...I get a big black sooty oily puddle on the garage floor when my engine warms up and if the door is shut I can see it spitting black droplets on to it's white surface.
This particularly happens on engines that are run infrequently, like mine. I was concerned about it until I realised it was condensation....which is where the "only happens when the engines warmed up" part comes in as the 'zorst pipes act like a big condenser. If there's no blue smoke like it was burning oil I reckon mikes on to something there. The oil could've wept out of the barrels/valve stems while the engine was stationary and collect in the Xchangers, mix with the condensation and get blown out the tail pipes. If you have a temp gauge you could try running the engine until the oil gets to 90/100 deg, which seems to take ages with these type4's, unless you go out and really drive it hard -then see if the exhaust is still spitting. |
