Hi all, I am new here. So wished I found this site years ago. Lots of good info!!!! Any way, I am getting a lot of smoke on de-acceleration after my 1976 2.0L has warmed up. I was thinking my oil rings were sticking. Also thinking maybe valve guides? The engine was rebuilt in 2000 and I really only drove it until 2005 as a daily driver. The transmission went bad and it wasn't really driven. House and 2 teenage daughters came first. I would putt around at least once a month. I could go on and on so longer story short I have been driving it since 2015 and it has been smoking like I said. A little on acceleration not bad though. Any info would help. Other than that it runs great and my 914 is going into the shop soon for new paint so I am going to pull the engine and transmission. (PS I originally posted this in the wrong forum. duh)

Did you check if you have pressure in the crankcase? I cracked a piston (see picture) and it smoked up the track pretty good.
While the car is running remove the oil cap and see if you have white smoke coming from the filler tube. From my experience it means a cracked ring or piston. It may sound terrible but i'd rather deal with a bum piston over s dropped valve seat any day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s) |
