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)

Smoke on overrun is a classic symptom of needing new valve guides.
No stem seals on these motors. Rings will usually smoke under load, not on overrun. --DD |

By the way just had my 914 smogged and passed with flying colors!! woohoo!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |
