Light smoke from breather
« on: March 02, 2014, 11:00:57 AM »
I've got light smoke coming from the breather on my bbc after shutting it down. Has anybody else seen this or know what's causing it?
Thanks!

Pretty normal, it is typically oil that is sitting in the oil valleys of the heads that gets above the smoke point of the oil temperature wise during heat soak.

I would call it completely normal. Cooking oil does the same thing if you get the pan too hot...  ;)

Thanks! Just rebuilt it and it's running way too good to tear it apart.
