[MrColeman92]

Can i just ask why the engine was smoking? i dont kno alot about engines. I've always been told when they smoke like that they are blown..can u please inform me.

[martymcfly001]

@MrColeman92 Sometimes mechanics overfill engines with oil slightly then it gets burnt under high revs ,i do think that`s what is happening here

[lowrunningcost]

the title says well prepared but i dont think the engine is!

[martymcfly001]

shows what you know about engines

[workensmart]

Why is it that older cars always look and sound better than newer cars?.

[stevo599]

@lowrunningcost Sounds sweet enough to me!

[haydensupra]

@workensmart cos the goverment werent cunts back then about global warming ? and cars were hand built and had character :)

@NesteHukka2 Surely it's because it's a 2-stroke, no? ;-Þ

@corporallee44

two twin 48's or throttlebodies,...

[workensmart]

@corporallee44 nice

[corporallee44]

@workensmart Four open barrels feeding the carbs WHICH COULD BE TWIN 45s make a great sound if on tune. My mk1 1600 escort twincam Gave me 190BHP at the wheels with alot of tweeking/gas flowing etc. All modern cars look the same to me, No character these days.

@martymcfly001 Also forged pistons have larger piston/cylinder wall clearance when cold. When the engine gets into "race" temperature, clearance is what it should be due to heat expansion, and then it should not smoke, if everything is OK.

@sadoid 90% of the cars that rolled out of the line in the past lasted only 20 years too. Yes, even those kick-ass angry Escorts.
