hello all,
I thank you for this great forum Wayne.

OK so here is my issue.

The 2.7 I have in my 914-6 smokes....I rebuilt it to the best of my ability and near as I can tell its doing fine, pulls hard runs great etc etc.

It only smokes IF I am sitting at a stop light ( a minute or so ) and I gun it when I leave the line POOF! big cloud of smoke, then only if I leave the car running at idle for a few minutes and I will start to see little puffs coming out of the tail pipe.

Now I have done a compression test (incorrectly AKA cold with the carbs not WOT) but come up with a steady 140psi.

Specs on the engine are 7R case, GE40 cams, Ross P&C 9.8 to one comp, cam timing is set at 4.5mm.

Another item of note is that when putting together I had a rough time getting the thing to start due to my ignition (HPV-1) not firing because of a missing in line resister and the re was a fair amount of gas that got washed down the pipes as it were. I have a AFR on the exhaust and run fairly rich this I know....But when I go from the 60's idles down to 55's I have no joy with low end so.....?

What could it be, valve stem seals, not seated rings? URGH!!!! valve guides?

I have no smoke issues on decel or one up and running at 3-6k rpm. Oh I fogot to mention they are nikasil cylinders and I scotch brited them...

Thank you

Josh
