Well, after sitting through a couple of winters in
my garage, I was able to get my DeLorean already for a summer of fun (hopefully)
When I had parked it, I had drained the coolant and
drained the tank. During it's storage I had replaced them pesky trailing
arm bolts and the various filters. (Fuel, Air, Oil)
Additionally I had used BarDahl's 'Top Oil' fuel
stabilizer in case I didn't get the tank quite empty and had sent some oil down
the air intake to lube the upper cylinders.
So, upon reactivating, I fill up the tank with gas,
(mixed with a bottle of the 'Top Oil') changed the oil and refilled the
coolant. Started her up and bleed the cooling system.
All sounds fine and dandy, except (oh no)
that when I started her up, the exhaust was very noticeable, i.e. billowing
clouds of smoke, white smoke. But I let her run, bleeding the coolantand
waiting for the fans to kick in. Still smoking up a
storm.....
The next day, I started her up again, and low and
behold, the exhaust was nice and clear, normal even, runs beautiful smooth and
steady. So thought I'd go for a spin around the block, and again, about
half way around the block, the smoke was coming from the pipes
again.
Checked the oil and it seems clear,not
obvious traces of coolant.
Any ideas on what it might be? Any
courses of action?
Thanks All.
