At the moment though, my mind is on other things, due to major oil smoke issues....

Caused by too much oil getting into the exhaust manifold...

I paid 2/3 the advertised price, so can't complain!

True Stav, but I wanted to do some work on it anyway, just not all in one go and not quite so soon 😵
