My pinz is smoking pretty strong. It gives a big puff at start and continues to smoke while driving. What is making me nervous is that the previous owner said it didnt have any issues. Take delivery and i've come up with a couple. Leaking front knuckles and smoking oils
Its at the point that its pretty uncomfortable for passengers.
Besides worn rings, what else can cause significant smoke?

Re: How much smoke is too much?
Worn rings are typically the culprit, though valve guide seals are a possibility. My 710 smoke horribly for the first couple of minutes, then had almost no smoke at all. My 712 doesn't have any smoke at all, even at startup.audiocontr wrote:My pinz is smoking pretty strong. It gives a big puff at start and continues to smoke while driving.
