[QUOTE="01SaleenS281, post: 8662660, member: 63281"] This weekend smoke was pouring out of the tailpipes after a highway pull where it was breaking up badly above 5K RPMS. The first thought was that the built motor was getting oil past the rings after a mere 20K miles. Fast forward to Tuesday and Chris over at Houston Performance had me start the car with the hood up while he watched oil literally spray out of the front seal of the Vortech V-2 head unit. The head unit was removed today and the intake assembly etc. was returned to stock. The MAF and all the piping were dripping with oil and the cause of the smoke was determined to be oil from the head unit getting into the throttle body via the intake elbow. The smoke has cut down significantly as compared to before the head unit was removed and the plugs were changed, but the car is still putting out a good amount of smoke especially when moving forward after sitting at a red light for a couple minutes. Does anyone have any recommendations to perhaps clean the oil out of the intake system etc? Sea Foam Motor Treatment??? Thanks in advance for your help!!!! [/QUOTE]
