White Smoke
By T1M - 08/04/2001 6:26:37 PM; IP 64.232.106.233
Ihave a 68' Galaxie 500 with a 390 2-v.
It's been sitting all winter for a total of seven month approximately. I finally got it started today. I've got it timed right and the dwell is fine but it produces a humongous fog of white smoke. I don't believe it's antifreeze in the cylinders because I replaced the head gaskets with Felpro brand ones 3 years ago. I sopped up the puddle of oil that pooped out the tailpipe onto the ground while the car was idling. Maybe burning oil? It's never done this before. someone suggested the valve guides had probably oxidized some while it was sittting and only required some prolonged driving to get the seals to expand and stop the smoking. I dunno, what's happening?
Thanks
