Smoking Crossfire!
Smoking Crossfire!
So one of the two Crossfires I own I purchased from someone in Tennessee. The former owner died before he could get it running, but today I got the engine started after replacing the SKREEM with one sourced from SOS Diagnostics (thanks guys!). I already had changed the oil and I put a bottle of HEET in the gas tank, since the car had been sitting for a long time.
The engine started right up after the SKREEM replacement, but lots of grey smoke quickly starting pouring out from underneath the area pictured here, which I think is under an exhaust header. What might be causing this? Do y'all have any advice? Should I be worried about this?

Re: Smoking Crossfire!
YUP. Dave is, of course, right. I had that with my SE. Mine was coming from the seams between valve cover and breather cover but sometimes it's from the valve cover gaskets.
Here is what is almost our biggest "fix it" thread, and it's on this very problem:

Re: Smoking Crossfire!
Thanks for the replies, guys. I am going to try to clean the engine bay and fix the oil leak from the valve gasket.
James, It is the left side of the engine if you are standing in front of the car, right if you are sitting in the driver's seat. It is an automatic transmission roadster. How do I check for the trans electrical plug leaking on to the exhaust?

Right and Left are always considered when sitting in the drivers seat.
