Guys,
Once yesterday and again today, I jumped into my truck and kicked it over (warm). The engine made a strange knocking/clicking noise for a few seconds then went to normal idle, but it was bellowing a sh$% load of smoke. After a few minutes, the smoke clears and all seems normal again. Drives fine.
On both occasions, maybe by coincidence, I had parked it on a slight down slope.
I'm suspecting a leaking injector seal cause fuel to pool on the piston (but I'm no mechanic).
The first time it was parked for maybe 30 minutes. The second time 3hrs or so. But is was fine after parking it over night.
Anyone got a clue what might cause it.... I'm a little concerned something may go bang while I'm driving it.
Thanks, Sean.
