I just bought a BEAUTIFUL '84 GS in blue and i finally got to drive it for the first time this weekend. I started it, and let it warm up to temperature, and then drove it for mabe 10 minutes, parked it, and started fuking w/ the radio that wasn't working. 2 minutes fuking w/ the radio, i smelled burning engine oil, and to my sever dissappointment, there was blue smoke comming out of the tail pipe. I gave it a short rev and more smoke poured out the exhaust. The man i bought the car from said that the engine had 78,000 miles on it, so should it be the engine seals on this engine? It seems kinda young to me to be going bad. The car itself has like 180,000 sum miles, and i can only make a guess, could this be a bad oil injection regulator?



Im not too sad about this tho b/c i have another one w/ 112,000 miles but the engine is fine. I also only paid $1,000 for the car which looks rust FREE with shiny paint and had a Holley 600cfm carb, RB intake, RB headers, electric cooling fan, and some nice carbon fiber pedals. Personally, im feeling a rebuild with a port job comming... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Nebody know how to check the Oil injection system for failure?

They say to undo the lines and make sure the omp puts out enuff oil in a certain time frame but I have never heard of an OMP itself going its usually just the seals or lines hooked to it that go on ya. Im thinkin maybe oil control seals are leaking and/or broken but I hate to be the one to jump to conclusions so see what some other people say about it first.

Im wondering if maybe the system is simply pumping way too much oil into the engine for some reason....I can't find out til this weekend tho

hmm, possibly a regulator stuck? is the oil pressure normal?

Yes, the oil pressure seems to be strong. Im not sure what it is supposed to be, but it has minor fluctuation depending on RPM... mostly revving to high rpm. It seems normal as far as i can tell.

I had a friend fluent with holley carb's come look at my car this weekend. He told me that the carb was dumping in a ton more fuel than was required by my car. Enough to make a huge clowd of hydrocarbons behind the exhaust. He suspected that the carb was set up differently because the car came originally from California and is now living in the more humid Pennsylvania. The humidity is displacing some of the air that would otherwize be burning with the extra fuel. I'm certainly glad that its not an oil problem, tho im still confuised why it wasn't acting like this until now. I think i'll still replace the o.i.s with a 2-stroke oil setup... Where's the best place to buy one of these mod's from?

to remove the OMP system from your car... you just need to take it off, and install a block off plate where it came off. And plug the holes in the rotorhousings , AKAIK. I've never removed one from an FB engine before... but i'm planning to in the future....Anyone fluent in FB wanna chime in?

I'm running premix right now, mixing is a bit of a nuisance, but what bothers me more is the cloud of two-stroke exhaust I get on startup https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif but, it beats the stock system. I'm not sure how the 12A is but my 'SE had injectors in the intake and in the housings, four in total, that I blocked off.

12A injects into the driver side of the intake with two plastic hoses from the OMP.
