I took the Midget to a mechanic today (right behind where I work) and he
said he found a lot of blow-by, which would explain all the smoke.
Now, I've been checking the archives and I'm still not totally sure I know
what blow-by is and what it means. He said that a ring could be stuck or
broken, and if stuck, that it might clear up. Is this really telling me I
need a ring job, or could it be something else? Should I just keep changing
the oil and hope for the best? I'm not going to do a ring job while my
other car sits in the garage wanting attention. :-)
Thanks!
adrian,
'75 Midget that runs well although it smokes (even impressed the mechanic)
