I should mention that even though this is an original engine with 23,000 miles on it, it smokes pretty good at idle sometimes. It seemed to smoke worse after I initially advanced the timing the other day. It sat for years before being started just recently, I wonder if it will clear up or free up the rings or valves or what ever by itself ? This probably has something to do with my issues. Is there a way to help free things up in the engine without causing damage?
