Sounds like your PCV valve is sucking oil into the intake=2E
Just installing a new valve diaphragm might fix it=2E
30 lb=2E of oil pressure at idling indicates that your bearings
are in good shape=2E

Hello listees,
Well, I'm trying whether to rebuild my engine or buy a rebuilt
or do something in between, like just put in new bearings=2E
Several people on the list have been very helpful so far and I
am certainly grateful for their help=2E
The big question is whether the car burns oil or not, the answer
is *sometimes*, which is odd=2E Like tonite; drive to the burrito joint
with my girlfriend, she runs in, while I wait in the car, maybe
five minutes tops=2E I leave the engine running, oil pressure is
30 lbs/sqin idling, the engine is up to operating temp=2E As soon as
we go to pull away the biggest cloud of smoke starts coming out
of the tail pipe=2E I thought the car was on fire for a moment there
was so much smoke=2E I drive one block like this, smoke pouring out
the back of the car and then the smoke vanishes and we are back
to normal colorless exhaust=2E
The head on this car is a 4 month old VB rebuild=2E The engine has been
detoxed, it's a 1275, has a weber and a lcb header (in case that is=20
helpful)=2E
What is that smoke?? Has anyone experienced anything like this? If
I were burning oil or there was water (steam) in the exhaust, shouldn't
that be constant?
Thanks,
Robert Weeks
