Subject: smoking engine problems
>I have a query for the list. On my '71 TR6, as long as I keep the engine

>smoke fills the cabin, and there is a trail of oil smoke in my exhaust that
>you can hide a car in.
>I have had the engine checked for leaks, and there are no severe ones, but
>my plugs are caked with oil. This leads me to believe that it is either
the

>fear the worst. Has anyone had this problem? Can anyone help? Thanks in
