I understand this is a common symptom of worn or hardened valve stem seals. Is there any real cause for alarm if the smoking stops in a mile or so, as the engine warms and makes operating temperature ???
Also, I really appreciate the tips colum, for the info on Gates and Dayton timing belts for the 1200. Just having a devil of a time getting the European belt cross referenced to American numbers. NAPA dealers are useless in my area, so was their web site.
