Where is the promblem ??

When I start my 3.0L six, it blows big smoke cloud. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif) Yesterday I opened the right side valve cover. There came out about 3 liter oil (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad2.gif) Before that the engine had been not running about 6 days. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Is it so, that the oil pump let the oil drain from the tank to the oilpan ?? Is there somewhere some kind of back-pressure valve, or should the toleraces in the oil pump be so tight, that no oil can go through it?? Should the oil pump be fluid-tight when the engine doesnt run ??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Or, is it normal that you find your oils in the engine after couple of days ?? How is it ?? Any experiences ?? Any advices ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Should I chance new valve steams ?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) Or pistons and cylinders... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hanged.gif)

It's not that Porsche was stupid for designing a flat-opposed engine.
Every engineering project is always a series of trade-offs.

The flat-opposed engine design is great, because it maintains a low center of gravity, and low profile, which allows the car to be designed in such a way as to improve aerodynamics, and the low center of gravity, of course, is great for handling. But an unfortunate side effect is that sometimes oil seeps into the cylinders.

Other engine designs are, what they are. You trade one weakness for another.

On the other hand, if you feel that you've overfilled your engine with too much oil, there's a simple soution. Drain it, and refill it with fresh oil to the correct level.
