<VV> Smoking engine

[Sethracer at aol.com]

Robert - As an experiment, park the car with the left side of the car lower 
 than the right - The opposite way of normally parked at a curb. See if the 
 "smoke-at-start-up" moves to the left side. If it does, just forget about 
the  issue. Every Corvair I have owned - mostly 140's - smoked out of the 
right side  on start-up when parked at a curb with the right side lower.

Hi folks  just want to get a quick opinion.  Just took my Corvair out for 
drive on  a sunny day.  I am still breaking in a re-built engine ( about  
700miles)  The right side has had a little smoke from time to time on a  cold 
start, I put that down to running a little rich.  The engine runs  quiet and 
very smooth.  I head a loud cough and I saw a large cloud of  blue smoke 
behine me.  The engine made no more sound, still runs smooth  and good 
eceleration but it is blowing smoke out the right side.  Is it  rings? Valve?  Any 
guess?  Thanks a bunch.  Robert  Paul
