Hi there,
Seems I have a little smoke coming from the aft end of my manifold.
The smoke almost disappears when the engine is idling and get worse when throttled up.
It smells like oil not exhaust. I did overheat this thing at one point. Engine has been very reliable and easy starting.
Is there a possibility that oil would be leaking from the gasket onto the exhaust side and burning? Looking at the gasket online it doesn't appear to have any oil galleries in it.
I do have to regularly give the pistons and rings the MMO treatment to alleviate blow by. The motor seems to not go through that much oil. Hard to tell when you change it every 50 hrs.
Any thoughts?
