Ashford---It's a "Little" late for April Fool! ?
If the soot, smoke and consumption was from an oil leak, that could
account for the coloring around the Kamm back. (Smoke from oil deposits
on the exhaust system) Such a leak rarely fixes itself, unless you run
the oil level down really low.
If the engine was actually burning the oil and sending it out the
tailpipe, it rarely fixes itself either. It's too much to think that
some oil riings suddenly unstuck..Or that worn valve guides closed up.
Neither accounts for the new-found rev range, unless your air/fuel mix
was badly diluted with oil.

Something is wrong with my car and I can't seem to diagnose it.
Traditionally after driving my car for even short periods of time I have
black soot all over the back of my car. The engine marks its territory
and consumes oil like some members consume Newcastle. This all made
sense, but no more.
Now, when I drive my car there is no plume of smoke, no tail lights that
are stained black, and the engine oil level remains constant. I just
can't understand.
Oh, and then there's the performance issue; for some reason I'm now able
to rev over 4k. The car revs and revs and makes a nice howling noise
when in the upper rpm range. What am I to do?
