BlueTop 4AGE Blowing a bit of smoke.....

Postby MINTFX » Wed Aug 03, 2005 1:52 pm

As the title says, My Bluetop 4age has started to blow a little bit of dirty white looking smoke if I rev it out past 4500rpm. Just noticed it today while going for a blat down the motorway. Just had an oil change 500kms ago. Everything else seems to be running sweet as. 242,000ks just rolled over the clock and it sill hums along nicely except for the little bit of smoke past 4.5k rpm. Anyone know what this is? Anything I can do to help stop it? Cheers

Just went for a quick hoon up and down the motorway, Really hard to tell if it is actually blowing any smoke. No water under the oil cap. Still pulls hard.
