2600 Miles Engine Seems to Be Dying
Well well, here I am again. Seems my hot-start problem is gone, now it's a "flood-all-the-time-problem". It floods every start without using my fuel cut switch, and sometimes takes a couple of tries with the switch. And man does it smoke on start up, it also smokes if I am sitting(idling) and rev it up at all it smokes, a whitish color, smells like oil. I run premix without omp, the first 1000 miles on the rebuild it never smoked, or had hot-start problems. I get a feeling my engine is about to go kaput. But alas, I may be wrong. Does anyone know what could be causing the problems besides low-compression. I am working on obtaining a tester(haven't had time to go buy one). The car runs strong as hell just has these problems above. Could my turbo oil seals be bad? Could my plugs be fouled bad enough to have this hot-start problem? What is wrong?!
