still getting smoke from somewhere

[mrallen]

ok as some of you know i had a severe oil problem with the oil feed line and the oil filter, the slowboy stainless line is on, the filter is tight but after running wot i am still getting smoke from somewhere? it looks like it is coming from under the intake mani, everything i can see is dry though? and suggestions?

have you degreased the motor to clean all the oil spray off

Sounds like the knock sensor could be leaking and hitting the exhaust causing the smoke and smell.

I would think both of both the ideas stated above

 

[mrallen]

is that something i could take to any local shop andhave checked? or i could do myself? and yes i "brake cleanered" the entire undercarriage.

and also thank you very much for the repsponses guys!!!!!

Thats something you can check yourself. Just jack up the car and be sure to use JACKSTANDS and look under the car were the knock sensor is lacated and see if you see any oil leaking around that area. If so the knock sensor needs to be tightened to 17 foot pounds.

Let us know what you find.

their is a 14mm bolt by the oil pan under the knock sen., see if its still there.if not thats prob. were
your oil leak is coming from.

ok it is leaking from the bottom right screw of the feed line......in the moring it is going on the lift...the screw only has about 3-5 threads int eh motor so i am going to get longer screws, some sort of thread sealant and the thinest washer i can find and try again!

 

[cruisintalonawd]

why did they put that hole there???

 

[mrallen]

what hole where? if you are referring to the bottom right in the oil pan it is for the feed line......i got some longer bolts, hi-temp thread sealer and some copper based rtv.....no leaks yet!!!!!

 

[cruisintalonawd]

No the hole on the back of the block right under the knock sensor that has a 14mm bolt to plug it
