vivalavolvo Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 I spent the last few days tinkering and upgrading the PCV system. This seems to have eliminated smoking after a hard pull. BUT i was going for a very spirited drive today without any smoke, stopped and got gas, then stopped to pick up some kitty litter. When i went to leave the store it smoked for a few after start up. I flicked the throttle a bit and it burst out and cleared up like it had some oil pooled up some where. Any ideas what to tackle next? It's my 95 855 T5 with ARD Green.

mopar318 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Valve stem seals? Mine did the same thing, and then it dropped compression on one cylinder. This is what I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
