Les Henson Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Only time I ever came across this was when a guy had put too much oil in the engine. There was so much in there that the rocker cover filled with oil above a certain revs, and then would back-flow through the breather into the inlet manifold - creating a huge cloud of smoke. Les.
