Pause for thought......
When revving the engine out of gear .no black smoke ....
In gear at 1200 rpm onwards increases in black smoke.....
Surely if timing pump problems it would smoke the same in and out of gear....
The engine mounts are set up for the old engine .......if this new block has been placed directly onto the engine mounts but no realignment done would this cause any problems . The prop does rotate by hand but if slightly out would it explain.????
Would it smoke the same out of gear the as much as does in gear......my non mechanical brain says it should?????
Any thoughts ???
