hey everyone,
turned 16 in early jan so i got my learners and on my payday i registed my car and got fuel for it and when i got it started the bl00dy thing started smoking from somewhere under the inlet manifold(prolly the exhaust manifold) and then it started coming out of that hole in the rocker over (i had the aircleaner off so i could put some fuel down the carby). i put the aircleaner back on and it came out of that too(which really got me worried) i thought that even if it was smoking out the rocker cover i shouldnt see it because the carby should suck it down, but i didnt.
BTW its a blue 202
im really pissd off at the moment as ive had the car for about 3 months and im dying to drive it because i havnt driven it yet.
just let ya's know that it has been sitting for about a month so im wondering could it just be the oil that needs replacing?
thanks heaps in advance everyone

so it was running smoothly, just making smoke? or was it running like a busted arse?
it was making a wierd noise but today i got my nabour to have a look at it and if wasnt making the noise and it wasnt smoking as much so he had a play aroung with the idle and fuel mixture and its running better than my brothers 173. but the smoke was just oil on the exhaust manifold from when the rocker cover was leaking before i changed the gasget.
so its all good now.
but will post back if anything else goes wrong
thanks

well that sounded really bad at the start but seems liek you sorted it out but why was smoke comming out of the head? they should only happen if you have a problem with the valve stems or somethgin alogn the lines of that
