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)

UPDATE: compression is looks solid across cylinders. (1)138 -(2)137 - (3)135 - (4)138. Getting rid of points and condenser today with electronic ignition.

It's most likely bad exhaust valve guides. You will hear and maybe feel the air coming out of the tail pipe during the test, if it is bad exhaust valve guides. |

You Steve, I lost a valve seat in number three last December so I decided to rebuild the whole car and had new barrels and heads put on. I let the car sit about 4 months before deciding to go all in. It took about 4 months of weekends and some weekdays to get the car finished. I still have some color sanding, finish the windshield squirters and headlights. But I have the car back on the road and enjoying it!!! Thanks for the advice. Attached thumbnail(s) |
