Listers,
Had a fun time racing a BMW a little bit ago,
passed him gettin off one highway to get onto another
din't think anything of it till I noticed a bright set
of headlights gaining on me
let him get up along side me & then I punched it &
noticed he was going with me
so to cut to the chase we were doing 140ish with him
behind me the whole time it was freaking great.
One thing I noticed though while stepping on it I was
getting smoke out the rear pipes quiet consistantly
(noticed cause of his bright lights),
got home & felt the inside of the rear pipes & noticed
alot of black sooty wet stuff.
Was I burning oil? Do I need to do the valve steam
seals?
I was gettin that on my 200tqa & had to replace the
steam seals, after ruling out the turbo. But as you
all now the V8 doesn't have a turbo (or does it?)
anyways anyone have any thoughts?.
Thanks
Ron
