Shakedown runs are good, I try to get in at least 200 miles before buttoning=
 up the interior=20

RE: Smoke from the breather.  Check you water level to be sure it is where y=
ou last checked it.  Pull the oil filler cap and look underneath, if you see=
 a grayish gunk then you probably have water in your oil....not a good thing=
.  Clean it off and go again to be sure. =20

RE: Pinging.  Where do you live, hot day driving?  Pinging, or pre-ignition,=
 can be either timing is too advanced or you need to step up the octane rati=
ng of your petrol.  In the summertime I always run premium.  This could be c=
ausing the engine to run hot and thus some smoke, if not steam, at your brea=
ther. =20

Hope this helps,
Bill
