Hey wonder if anyone give me some advice as to what to do
god i'm shakin...
OK my engine is a bran new block with 10K in it
b4 me is was owned by a woman who was scared to go past 4000 RPM's and faster then 80 km/h
bought the car had the engine stripped it was perfect a lil carbon build up on the plus but it was great condition
never overeved changed the oil in it ever 2 months had a problem a lil while back with the heater core hose so i haven't been able to start it for a month
i just replaced the oil lines and all the water hoses yesterday and today i tried to start it
wouldn't start kept stumbling i tried this maybe five times giving it quite a few cranks thought maybe it was flooded as for i heard the 86 - 89 are famouse for leaking injectors
checked the plugs they were full of fresh oil (mostly the trailing plugs the leading were relativly dry) and there was a bit of gas on them (figured it was from all the cranks i gave it)
also my stupid friend tried crankin it with the ignition system turned off yesterday(no spark)
well i changed all four plugs as for i have a box of them, and turned on the engine, started no problem
How ever new problem i haves a cloud of smoke comin out the exhasut so thick that i can't see my own feet
also i have 20W-50 Castol GTX and it's -5 outside
the engine was fine last time i ran it for 30 min at idle
what to do??
Thank you in advance for the help

ok....first of all, when a rotary engine floods, oil and gas accumulates in the chambers which, when you start it, gives you a huge cloud of smoke...its all normal...
if it smokes every time you start it (unless it floods every time) then a seal is leaking.....which equals a rebuild asap...
