I'm not an engine expert so I look to the team for best advice.....
I have a 66 vert , L-36 T.F. car with 44,000 original miles. Purchased by me from the orignal owner in 2004. Car had 37,000 org miles in 1987, 39,939 miles when I bought it in 2004. It sat in a garage for 6-8 yrs before I bought it. Engine has never been out of car, never opened up since factory. I have enjoyed putting on 4,000 miles but am now experiencing increased blue bursts of smoke out of my drivers side rear exhaust, and very little out of the RT side tail pipe. There is no smoke when cruising but when you accelerate 2, 3, 4th especially at higher RPM's there is a nice cloud of blue out the rear. I have changed oil (diesel oil as per forum expert) every 500 miles and have now put Bardahl anti-smoke agent in crank that has had some minimal effect. Rings/Valves???
I sense many of you may suggest complete engine rebuild, just a little nervous about getting the right person to protect my stamp pad, etc.
Lastly, What internal improvments would you recommend that will improve performance, but preserve the integrity of the car. ie, should one consider cam changes, what components have you used and recommend??
Any and ALL advice is appreciated....THank-you.
