Ok guys heres the info:
The guy i bought it from sez it sat for 1-2 months. he didnt say if it was burning b4 or not. now it smokes like a son of a b*tch when started for about 60-90 seconds and then when it warms up and pressure is put on it it puts out a big cloud (especially if i get it over 4000 rpms). So is this due to carbon in the seals and should i take my chances with ATF if it is or is there an easier(or harder) solution?
Thanks!
