I think I'm going to have an engine for a living room table this winter. Car was running great till I got off the freeway and then it did not want to idle. If the oil cap, crank case breather or valve cover vent were removed it idled fine.
Symptoms
At idle
Smoke rapidly exiting any vent on the engine be it the oil cap valve cover vent, crank case vent and if all these are connected properly it will exit through the dipstick blowing oil all over.
Compression on the 73b
warm
130 128 65 35
No signs of coolant or oil in either system.
Oil pressure was about 80 on the highway 60 at idle hot Coolant temp was never higher than 1 needle width beyond the N
Any idea's?
I cant pull the head off till tomorrow afternoon.
