As title states, my VT starts with a bad miss, i let it run for half a minute and all that crap ended up on my wall. As per photo. Smoke seems to pour out around exhaust manifold on cylinder 6 =( what's going on here? Not having much luck with my holdens lately, dare i convert to ford

Lol I'll try. If no one knows what's wrong with the car, does anyone know at least how to remove the black stuff on the wall before mum finds it D=

Also would like to add, oil is coming through the intake, LOTS of oil. So much that it was dripping out of the throttle. Gave it a good clean and pulled out PCV, didn't seem blocked up at all, just cleaned it and put it back in so not sure if that's leaking anymore. Maybe that could give someone a clue on what's happened

Could be
Valve's.
Stem seal's.
Piston rings
Injector's.
Running too rich.

How many K's?
Have you done a recent service.
If the manafold is leaking, You could try nip the bolt's up.
But more likley need a new gasket.

Have you done a compression test?

If it only does it for the first 30 seconds or so after starting,but then clears itself and runs fine, then its probably a leaking fuel injector or a leaking fuel pressure regulator. Either of these problems will cause the engine to run way rich at startup, and it will misfire and run crook until the excess fuel is cleared from the engine.

rocker cover gasket could be leaking, so oil is leaking onto the manifold and is burning off.....??? not sure about the black smoke coming from the exhaust though lol

Seems like an injector issue or pcv. Has fuel economy been a bit off lately?
