Not Ranked
stroked 351 smokes on startup
I have 351W stroked to 418 and when I start the engine after it has not been run for a couple of weeks the driver side smokes badly for a couple of minutes. After the engine warms a bit the smoke goes away. The smoke is a mix between blue( oil) and white(water) but does not smell like burning oil!
This happened the very first time I fired the engine and had me worried for a bit until it went away. I summer the engine did not smoke at startup, just after it sits for a while. It is a lot of smoke just not a wisp. Any ideas would be appreciated!!
