MrSweetE70 is on a distinguished road
Omd, it smoked again today! I took it on a 20 min motorway run and the exhaust went to 600ish for a while and when I got to my dads I checked and absolutely nothing... Went home on the motorway so same again 20mins on motorway exhaust temps not so high this time 350/450 and no smoke so great.

Took it out today on a very short town run and after 10 mins it was smoking lightly again.. I just don't get it. The only difference between last night's motorway run and the other two occasions it smoked was that I was out in the afternoon while temps are crazy high and the smoking occurred around town. But, if my exhaust can hit 600 for a sustained amount of time I can't see why my shorter journeys could be worse.

I've ordered an endoscope with the hopes that next time it smokes I'll put the camera straight under the valve cover air filter section and look straight at the exhaust manifold and see what exactly is smoking.
