Re: Oil smoke from one exhaust

After some use I can say the smoke is white on cold start and then becomes bluey. Only on the left bank.

Re: Oil smoke from one exhaust

Tobi thank you. In my case I doubt that only three pistons and all three on the same banks are leaking from the rings. I’m more convinced regarding the valves stems.
I will let you know regarding the oily spark plugs after some trips.

Re: Oil smoke from one exhaust

Compression of cylinders is good folks, pistons and rings new. We are dealing with oil smoke, please take it as a dogma and trust my nose :-)

Re: Oil smoke from one exhaust

Definitely not water: smells like oil clearly.
New clue: the oil vapor hose of that very bank doesn't puff any oil.
Oil is just coming from the driver exhaust.

Oil smoke from one exhaust

Hello, I can see some white oil smoke coming from the driver exhaust in my 2400. It's evident at idle and at every RPM, not necessarily releasing the throttle. What are the possible causes? Please note that pistons and segments are 1000 km old.

Are my hub caps the right ones?

I wonder if my wheel hub cups are the right ones for my coupe’ 2400 1972!
Looking into catalogs they actually look more like the 2000 ones…
Your help please

Re: Plastic valve caps

Sorry I didn’t explain myself properly. I know that caps are part of a deeper valve thing that can be metallic or plastic but the question is: did your Dino originally come with the metallic set or the plastic one like mine?

Horn compressor maintenance

I would like to give some maintenance to the compressor. Is there a specific way to do it? The required oliofiat OCT is no longer in production. What kind of light oil do you suggest to add?

Plastic valve caps

Do you have plastic caps on your Dinos like mine? Or it’s a ‘80s upgrade?
