xangomatt Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 My ke30 seems to blow minimal bluish smoke, much better that timing has been fixed. Just bought it and hasnt run much over last 5-10 years, what would you recommend I do? Quote
thatdude Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 if you havent changes the oil I would suggest changing it and the oil filter that may help. Quote
Des Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Yep, Change the oil and filter if you haven't all ready and just drive it for a few hundred km's and keep an eye on the smoke. It may disappear or stay. Our Ke11 use to blow a little smoke and it only had been driven a handful of times in a few years. Fresh oil and some spirited driven fixed it and now it doesn't blow anything. A 41 year old 3k that doesn't blow smoke is hard to believe, i know. Quote
Old fella Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Or rebuild the 4K that you got with it.. Quote
B.L.Z.BUB Posted March 20, 2011 Report Posted March 20, 2011 Take it for a thrash and blow the cobwebs out. Quote
xangomatt Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Could it be as bad as having to change out the piston rings. I did a compression test yesterday and it ranged from 140-150 Quote
