To All:
I wanted to let everyone know that the
blue smoke problem is and was caused
by the hole in the diaphragm, also most
of the PCV components where missing.
Evidently at the airport they gave my car a bath
on the outside and did a nice job on it, but also
cleaned the engine and when they did this some
of the components must have fell out or off the PCV.
All of this is fixed now, and the plugs were fouled
so I cleaned them up and the car seems to be running
better now.
A big thanks goes to alot of folks including,
Neil Cotty, Peter, Allen B., Bob Howard, Max Heim
and David Hill.
Thanks again guys.
