Hi guys, just need to clarify something, before i start freaking out.
I just had my engine rebuilt, and when i drove it home, from the garage, it was alright, i drove in 2nd and maybe 3rd gear, making sure i shift at around 2500rpm...i live in the hills, so i had to drive uphill for a while, and i notice the temp guage remained at halfway as soon as i went uphill, and all the way to the top...eventually it went back down as i went down the hill to reach my home...but here's the thing, when i parked the car, i left it on idle for a few seconds, while talking to my mum, and fetching a peice of cardboard to lay underneath the car, to check for signs of any leakage, and suddenly it started to smoke quite a bit...white smoke though...
Could that be the remaining oil in the exhaust, the gasket sealer settling in, or some slight coolant leakage, or oil slipping past the piston rings???
Your views will be much appreciated, for i can't afford to go through the enire process of overhauling...
cheers :rockon:
