YEP.....Get a ford

[pauline]

I have a ford to got the 100e

 

have been told by some one who was behind my car last night that the smoke is a blue oil burning color

[vibrating_Cake]

mine looked blue, a little bit of smoke is normal for older cars when driving, due to wear n tear, if its not blinding the guy behind/ you are not really aware of it lookin thru ur rear view mirror, dont worry about it

[pauline]

i can see it smoking out of the mirror it is bad

don't know any engine builders round that way but any should be able to help

[FredTransit]

There is some Wynne's stuff you put in the oil that will help with the smoking, not permanent but I have used it in a pinto and it does help. I think it seal the bore wear/rings. Sounds a bit bodgy but it's worth a try.

[caprinerd]

i use to have a magnum with big end bang and smoked like a cigar and i stuffed the engine full of stp and wynnes and held off long enough to out the motor

I'd give up with the old girl and sell her to me but thats only because I'd like to buy her
