Re: My last effort
maybe it needs an Italian tune up? Sitting around and being idled in the cold all Winter isnt helping. I would go burn off all that Winter buildup abd get the engine hot an see how it behaves then.
It would be nice to watch the tailpipes during a WOT acceleration pass from an other car. following the Z.
Believe me..It's had frequent Italian tuneups..When I said a lot of idling it didn't mean just to start it and let it run..I was daily driving this car on all dry days..Just have a phobia about warming up my cars thourally in extremely cold temps like we've had here in NJ..

Dyno- I went through every one of those threads that you posted from the archives..I'm positive my PCV hooked up correctly and functioning as it should.I triple checked every aspect of it..I Even replaced 2 new sets of PCV valves twice within 200 miles just to be sure I didn't get a defect..Now,,I was aware that the exhaust smoke could be coming from the cam cover filters being missing or damaged, and also the valve seals..What I did not know before reading your archives,and just mentioned by Gold that it could be coming from a the IH gaskets..I just had the plenum off this week to remove the secondaries..Although I didn't remove the IHs I was expecting to see some oil present in the valley..Not a trace around the Breather box or the bases of the IHs..She was oil free except maybe a teaspoon in the plenum..So I guess it's possible the IH gaskets could be leaking internally and not externally?The car is smoking as show in the videos without any load..Smoke increases with throttle..The smoke only comes when fully warmed up..No smoke cold for the first 15 min..
