Hmm... just got back from a run to Ashington, averaged 85 on the way back...
pulled up outside my garage and bloody blue smoke appears, smells oily. Reved a little to raise pressure (+ 200rpm appx) and all ok, moved the car back into the parking slot and let it run for a few mins - no more smoke...
Was this a one off (first time it has happened in that volume) - and due to piston ring wear?
Can't be tubby surely - I've only jsut put a completely recon one in... And it doesn't smoke on start either?
It does need a tune, I know that and the clutch is a little slippy under high load.... So what do you think? A little piston ring wear?
Very smelly smoke... poooooooh
Or could it have been an accumulation of oil while i was hooshing along that then dropped into the cylinders from the baffles or summat?
