Ok my car when im giving it to death 6000 rpm + in 3rd to 4th gear change over give out a huge (and i mean huge) cloud of smoke......i look like one of the red arrows
now it did this at POD a couple of times at NAT day and i was told it could be worn piston rings or an overfilled sump.....
Now my piston rings where new 400 miles ago on steel liners (yes i had the right rings fitted)
but my sump is filled to the top so i am going to drop this down a little...
but my main question is the breather system....
now my car does not smoke at any other time (only on start up a little puff)
So..... the breather system i have a 2 port catch tank with a little filter on the top now yesterday when it smoked like hell one of the pipes popped off and split that was connected to the tank so im looking for the easiest way of allowing my engine to breath...
now from reading the boards we got 3 areas the Vacuum connection on the back of the manifold,
the rocker cover connection
and the sump connection (small tube up to the pot)
now all i want to know is is the rocker cover one the only one that lets the engine "breath" as i assume the sump is a drain and the manifold is a vacuum...???
a simple drawing to open my eyes would be great as im looking into tapping another breather in somewhere that sparky mentioned to me a few years ago..
