Hi All,
Recently rebuilt my 4th Triumph engine.(650) Just finished putting it all together, timed the valves, primed the lines ect. Started on the third kick. Idles well and throttles up good. Had a few puffs of smoke when I first started it. No big deal as this is typical as it burns the residue out. Watched closely as it pumped oil up the line to the top end. About 10-15 seconds after the oil made it to the top end, a couple of puffs of smoke from the left cylinder. About a half a minute later the right cylinder started to smoke too. Now they both smoke(not heavily). Mostly when I roll off the throttle or if I snap it open. My question is; Does this sound like valve guides to anyone out there? Or is it maybe sending too much oil to the top end and flooding it? I can't believe that the 3 previous engines all had good heads but this one is pooched, but it wouldn't suprise me. Looking forward to your replies.
