White Smoke 356!!?

Post by RubyRed65 »

Hello All,

Just got the engine back together after fitting new piston rings, honing barrels, heads done etc and she runs beautifully but it's pumping out white smoke... I read that whilst running in there'll be a little white smoke but it seems a little too much(it's a smoke machine!!)... does anyone out there think it could be something else?

Little worried!!

Thanks

I was going to suggest taking it back to the builder, at least you won't have far to go :) It sounds line something wasn't assembled right, maybe the rings are misaligned?
