Hi guys...I just paid a ton of money to have my pushrod tube seals replaced along with a valve adjustment. When I got it home, there is just as much smoke from the engine compartment as there was BEFORE!!! I'm going to take it back obviously, but where else should I look for a leak? Guys at the shop tell me the oil cooler seals look fine. I'm pretty sure something is dripping onto the heat exchangers and burning. Very, very frustrating....
Thanks, Mike |
