I'm back again to seek advice from the Afourian group...
All summer after the fixes the my Atomic 4 was up and running.. with no further issues till now.
All of a sudden on start up it's been bellowing smoke, not grey smoke or anything darker, but just white smoke and only for a minute or so on start up then it clears up.
I've checked the spark plugs they're all dry and not fouled or wet in any way and on inspection down the spark plug hole nothing seems wet.
I run down to the marina every 2 weeks or so to start up the motor to keep things turned over and have the engine run for 15 - 20 mins or so... You can see the orange tinge of colour close to the exhaust outlet in the photo.
Is the more due to:
1/ Head gasket gone.
2/ Exhaust manifold
3/ Heat exchanger.
The exhaust water has a tinge of orange colour similar to my antifreeze and the reservoir well drains about half a quart after some time... I don't know at what rate since this is something new.
Anyone have any ideas?
