Ive noticed, immediately on start up I get a plume of black smoke, goes away afer maybe 2 seconds. also if i rev it up and take my foot off the accelarator (whilst stationary, I get black smoke). Also has a slight haze whilst on full throttle and is running hot (Needle a couple of mm under the red) although im not really convinced my sender is reading it accurately as the heater output doesnt seem too different. It also seems to struggle a bit (I know its a 2.5 non turbo but the series is quite light so should be doing better than it is especially after having new rings, a head skim and new bearings.
Had new fuel filter, timing belt and injection pump all set up with the timing pins so is spot on. Could it be coked up injectors? I also cleaned the air filter through a couple of months ago but done a few runs since then. Also she seems to breathe pretty heavily too (but onlyout the rocker cover, not out the dipstick, its always had this issue), so much so that im considering fitting a second breather to the block like on 2.25s/
What do we think the smoking issue could be?
