I took my R11 T on the track last summer and whilst on the track, the dump valve pipe popped off so no vacuum control was getting to the ignition unit. Anyway, finished my run and the engine was making a ticking noise. Drove home, all was well, still just as smooth and running normally but then a few days later, with the ticking still there, I started getting smoke from the exhaust. Turn the car over, all clear then after about a minute smoke started to appear. This was at idle. I used a couple more times then left it as the smoke was starting to get pretty bad. So, my question is- what's wrong with it! The head is off it at the moment and I can't see any issues- valves look ok, push-rods seem fine but my thought is that one of the valves is slightly bent from over revving (I forgot to mention that, didn't I!) and is letting engine oil into the pistons. Oh yes and the smoke doesn't get worse with acceleration...
Cheers...
