Absolutely no reason to swap the tubes! It's the 'O' rings which go bad... not the tubes... they're just tubes. Unless you find a cracked tube (which I have never heard of) simply replacing the 'O' rings should be sufficient. |
Just a thought
I just thought that I would throw in my 2 cents here. I know that flat 6's are well known for seeping a little bit of oil from the valve seats if they sit for any length of time (within a day or two is possible) and that will cause a little bit of smoke on start up. I know that nobody enjoys working on a hot engine, so I'm wondering how much oil would you say it was, and how long did the car sit prior to changing the spark plugs?

I tried
Well, like I said it was my 2 cents and I don't know a whole lot about these water cooled 6's. As for my smoke explanation; that is what I was told by Matt at Sport Haus in Reno (surely someone has heard of them because they are world reknowned for their turbo work).

The more I get on here though, the more that I learn everyday, even if it is tough love. Thanks for the mentorship.:)

I'm sure he said "valve seals" not "valve seats."
But even so, nothing to do with this issue. |
