WOT SMOKE
Hey all. i have recently noticed that when i punch the gas on my zz4 350 i get a nice amount of smoke from the tail pipes. and it is only when i punch it.
cruising or idling it is fine except for running a tad rich.
also after a night of romping on it i check the oil and notice i am losing some.
i've heard everything from loading up on fuel to valve seals to rings.
i cant tell the color of the smoke yet but if i had to guess i would say blueish
any thoughts?

I was going to say maybe it's running rich enough you're getting a lot of carbon build up but if it's blue then it's oil. Pull a spark plug out and take a look.

Re: WOT SMOKE
that I'm not sure about. If it was burning oil then it would do it all the time, you'd be able to smell it too.
