Re: White smoke on deceleration 140-160 1971

As Walter said, yes you can do it with the head in place. Another way of keping the valve in place is to stuff rope in the cylinder. Basically you set the engine so the piston is at the top ofthe stroke in whatever cylinder you are working on, both valves closed. Turn the engine slightly contra to its normal rotation and put rope into the cylinder through the sparkplug hole, then turn the piston back to TDC. I had a 145 E that had this oil blowing problem, though it was clear the smoke was oil which is what made be think of brake fluid. In the end the only thing that cured it was replacing the worn out valve guides. For which the head definitely needs to come off.

Regards
