Well, I thought I would ask a follow up question to you all, or y'all as
we say down south. I got a piece of tubing and disconnected my crank
vent which was routed to both carbs, and then stuck the new piece on and
stuck it in a milk carton. The purpose of this was to see if I was
suffering from a bunch of nasty stuff being tossed about the valve cover
and then being re-burned. The answer to that is no, with no noticeably
bad funk, just a little whiff of blue smoke.
I am still getting the blue smoke at rpm's that exceed 4k. This is much
worse when I let off the gas as vacuum increases.
The general consensus of the list, and a great group it is, is that I'm
suffering from bad valve guides. So I just wanted to reconfirm that
what I'm seeing when I let off the gas makes sense in terms of valve
guides.
I think so, but would appreciate some confirmation.
Thanks to all... again,
