Out with the old, in with the new
Again ;)
Out with the old (Silver 289FIA), in with the new (427SC). http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/atta...-oldandnew.jpg Have to keep them separated by a few feet so they do not fight with each other while still sharing the garage :LOL: Bill S. |
Think that newby might need new piston rings this winter?
Nice color choice..........Bring it to Lake George. Tim |
Is that a CCX Bill?

Bill S. PS: Are there any casting/stamp marks on the Dove heads to differentiate between older and newer castings? I ask because I remember some time back that a pallet load of "defective" (overly porous) Dove heads disappeared from their loading dock. Want to make sure I do not have a set of those on my hands :rolleyes: |
That looked like a heck of a nice deal for someone not afraid to dig into the motor a little. Hope it just needs something relatively minor. Good luck.
|
Congrats Bill. I'm envious of your garage.

Looks good Bill.

You really should clean that garage up a little. So messy, I don't know how you can work in there!
Nice looking project! Larry |

That being said, and given the car's current propensity to belch blue smoke, would it be wiser to aim those sidepipes toward the garage doors instead? :LOL: |
Good luck on the PCv....after looking at the pic , I thought that might be the problem.......a cheap fix if you're lucky...:)
|
May also be an intake gasket leaking some oil into a chamber...
|
It would be cool if you got lucky with something simple. Any smoke out the breather?

On the not so easy side I am thinking a ring job. Had it out and put 50 miles on it, while it puffed blue smoke out the passenger sidepipe, the drivers sidepipe was clean as could be. Forgot to check if the valve covers were baffled, so the K&N push in filters could be losing oil through splash action (it does show on the rear of the valve cover on the passenger side, drivers side shows a little, but not as much). Only other thought I had was that the engine builder did not put any oil restrictors in the heads...... We'll find out in a few weeks when I have time to dive into it.. Bill S. |
Does it puff all the time or more on deceleration or acceleration?
If the smoke is just coming out one side, I think Zoera is correct with the intake gasket. I had the same thing this spring. On heavy deceleration I would get smoke out the passenger side. Intake gasket was not installed correctly. |
So, is the old sold?
