Hi everyone... Last week I brought my '72 3.0CS to a specialist for a tune up of the carburators and a general engine adjustment (valvas, ignition etc). I noticed before the engine was running way too rich. When I changed sparks, there was oil around the plug on the third cilinder, which isn't ofcourse a good sign. Now these guys adjusted the engine and when I went to pick up the car, I noticed (a lot) of blue smoke upon idling. When the engine is running during a drive, there is no significant smoke, only upon idling... When I brought it, it didn't smoke, but the guy who adjusted it, mentioned the oil consumption and said I should consider an overhaul... Which has been done just before I bought the car (although i don't know if they changed pistons etc)
Any advice of you guys? Could it be that while adjusting, the engine ran hot?
And I'm also looking for a real specialist for overhauling engines in Belgium or in Germany (vincinity of Belgium)... I don't want to have a ready-overhauled engine since my car is matching...
Thanks for some good advice...
