Thanks guys –
That’s not wanted I wanted to hear but what I was afraid of.
At engine start up I could see a bit of smoke/vapor from the oil fill tube and from the PCV. It always puffs a white cloud at start up. As the engine warmed up the smoke/vapor from the fill tube seemed to go away. There is still smoke/vapor from the PVC hole. I had to close my barn door and use a trouble light to be able to see it so it was not a great amount. I suppose I will get a compression tester, always wanted one but just didn’t need it.
I would like to try the oil cleaner. What is the diesel method? I bought 150 gallons of #2 in June for my tractor and to heat my workshop in the barn so I have it on hand. Do I just drain the oil (what about the filter) refill with #2, run for 10 minutes, drain and refill? Sounds pretty straightforward. I would like to do the compression tests before and after.
Is the Engine Restore a better way to go? Should I try it first or second?
I have heard stories of ‘pin holes’ in the piston – any truth to that?
Thanks - dkjen
