Title: alot of smoke out of exhaust Post by: dianne on May 26, 2013, 11:36:33 AM hi
i have 1959 fc and i found that there is alot of smoke coming out of the exhaust , so much it looks like fog, it looks grey or slighly blue, i changed the modulator but im not sure if the one i put in is also faulty. Can anyone help with this one? Title: Re: alot of smoke out of exhaust Post by: colt on May 26, 2013, 11:48:35 AM Modulator? Do you mean PCV valve? If so, FC's aren't fitted with one, they are usually fitted after market. All greys have natural breathing thru the walking stick. I'm assuming you have a grey motor? You may have another more major issue.

The first is past the valves, the other is past the rings. Get a wet and dry compression test done and this will tell you where the problem is.

Whitish smoke that stinks could be transmission fluid (assuming this thing has an auto gearbox with a vacuum modulator). Whitish smoke that doesn't stink and condenses could be a badly blown head gasket. Ken right - start with a wet and dry compression check. Cheers, Harv |
