in had this once in a volkswagen polo, booting it up a hill, missfired,LOADS of smoke from the exhaust, pulled over ran engine for a bit then it was fine

someone said that oil might have got onto the piston head, but dunno how without anything being damaged

haha, good luck with the bolt idea, you will soon see why when you take the air thingy off the manifold. its pear drop shaped! lol!!! my manifold has a special thingy on it! lol, just means you need to get a bigger bolt in there, easier to do if you remove the manifold, no biggie at all.

YUP totally agree, cant see any smoke from mine in the morning, during daylight hours, my mates behind can smell it though! I had a Beemer behind me a few weeks back, its blue lights really showed up home much im burning! Go somewhere quiet, get your mate behind you and set off, get the engine onto full load..............if your burning it like there's no tomorrow like moi...........you won't see your mate for smoke!
