    Ooooh, memories...

    As a teen I can remember being in a 3.3 Victor as it left a 3.3 HQ Kingswood for dead in a clean drag. I so wanted one at the time...

    You haven't already? Why are you asking us questions, if you haven't checked the basics yourself? Doh!

    I bet it didn't burn half a litre of oil every 200kms like mine does. If it was just a bit of white smoke without the oil consumption then I wouldn't really be worried.

    Stick with 15W40/10W40 Diesel oil...

    Is it getting up to operating temp...+_80C? If the engine is running cold you will get white smoke....

    Does it go away when de accelerating?

    Unburned fuel is seen as white...
