Had my first "smoke bomb" this morning at start up after car sat all night.

Wow!

I heard that this can sometimes happen and I know that it can be indicative of an AOS failure.Took it to my indy and it was pronounced fit. AOS had been done prior to my ownership and I thought that the part had failed.

He confirmed the occasional occurrence and so did a friend with many years of prior flat six Pcar ownership.First time for me in 4500 miles of ownership of this 64,000 mile Box.Do not like this.

Anyone else have this????????????
