Difficult to diagnose on internet but..........
By Mark - 12/18/2000 11:08:36 AM; IP 162.42.12.232
......I am having troubles with my 390 smoking (blue) and the lifters are tickin' now that the weather is getting cold. It doesn't always do this, just enough that I worry that I will bugger something up if I continue to drive it this way. The smoke will stop after about a minute of warm up but the lifters will continue to tick all the way to work-about a mile. My question is this. Do you guys think it is time for a complete going over. It has 110,000 miles on it. Or........is there anything else I might look for or is there something else I can do to minimize the problem till spring? Other than the intermittant smoke and tickin' it is a good strong engine! Before the weather started getting cold I was running a straight 50 weight oil and all was fine. It wasn't until changing over to 10w30 did the problems begin.
Thanks guys!!!!!
