Smoke from 3rd?
« on: 19 March 2008, 17:06 »
Noticed that my 91 Digi is letting out a puff of smoke (enough to see from rear view mirror) when I have been really giving my car some stick through the country lanes. I notice it when i drop down from 4th to 3rd, only one puff of smoke but still concerns me. Also I dont think she is timed correctly.....could this have something to do with it?

i may be totally off the mark wit hthis but sounds like a little bit of oil is getting into the zorst and the change down from 4th to 3rd is just puffing it out, but i may be wrong
