The color of the smoke is important. If it was white, then that indicates water was in the combustion chamber (possible blown head gasket), blue indicates oil...
... I'm fairly certain it was white but there was no sign before and I drove a further 130 miles with the occasional similar hard right foot but again no...
Does anyone have any information on different versions of the 3 and 4 valve cylinderheads? I wonder if the 2.8 used larger valves or different shaped...
Bob D. You're doing and unusual sort of thing here so comparing it to a normal engine pull/install isn't really fair. I've done mine 3 times in 18 years and...

The heads are the same wether it is 2.0,2.5 or 2.8. Intake is also the same on all of them. The only difference I know about is that the 2.8 has a bit bigger...
I was down in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago and went and visited Dan. He's got the 228 all done now and on the road. Looks great and has a real kick to it....

Hi all, Here's a stupid question. I just bought a 1984 coupe. Of course, it doesn't run. I was thinking of updating the accessories (alt and a/c compressor)...
That sure sounds like a plan ;) You are hereby invited!! Really nice with some dodgy music and beers after a long day at the workshop!! Later! Cheers, Jarle ...
