now there's smoke

[Andrew Bohan]

workin on my high compression KA, tryin to figure out why it won't run right.
var stood behind the car as it ran and said first white smoke came out, then black smoke, then this gunky sooty stuff started flying out in little chunks.

then i turned it off and decided to see what was going on in the oil. opened the oil filler cap and all this whispy smoke came out. that doen't seem good.
then i unhooked the hose from the valve cover to the intake to see what's up.

started her up and every time i revved it, var said white smoke would shoot out of that hose. it smelled like gas.

i played with the safc a bit, ran it 25% richer and 10% leaner. my a/f meter reflected these changes, but it didn't make a difference in idle or anything.

yargh. what's going on?

The only guess I would say is timing, both cam and distributor timing. If your sure of your self on how you set the cams, try retarding the dis timing.

my friends MR2 did that, and we couldnt figure out what was wrong. turned out to be a faulty MAF.

the wispy smoke coming out of the valve cover after the engine running is usual. its hot in there.
