Default Re: Flathead smoke

Guy, It took me many miles to work out the problem,my 33 would run all day at any speed up hills or on the flat, no miss fire UNTIL i let of the gas to slow down for road works or an intersection, ,always after had this small misfire,.always the 5 +6 cyls plugs oiled,,finally looked out the back after coming down a big long hill and just as I got on the gas a pile of blue smoke out the back.
good compression and leak down on ALL cyls,
these two cylinders had really bad stuck guides when I put the engine together,and like a DUNCE i used old valves and guides, so have some other good ones to put in later.
Other than that I could not fault the engine.
