What is(are) the cause(s) of cornering smoke that you've found? Something on my car is causing the AOS to suck up and throw large amounts of oil into the engine when 'pressing on' , particularly if having just exited a left hander.
What oil do you recommend? The AOS is 3 months old.
Thanks  |
Either you have a bad "New" AOS (which we see all the time when testing with a Manometer) or the valve stem seals are hardened and allowing oil past them.
This is what happens with the glorious engine oil and service intervals dictated by the factory.
Hardened stem seals allow oil to be sucked past the intake valves during heavy manifold vacuum. Oil that puddles in the cam covers from G force aggregation can also leak past exhaust stem seals and end up in the exhaust system.
Worn valve guides can have a similar impact as the excess movement in the valve impacts the ability of the stem seal to do its job.
