Hi Dan, thanks for the reply. As of now, all I really did, was give it some "hell/slack/pedal to the metal" - you get the idea! No more smoke! I think Lynn hit the idea with oily deposits in the exhaust and all it needed some heat and flow to clean it out! For now.... Next major issue is at 150K timing belt change, etc. I think I will advance this to about 125K, as a lot of the time it is city-crawling, doesn't run up the km, but the engine/belt is still runnning/wearing. To avoid your engines fate! When I dig into the engine, I will also check valve-play (major pain to adjust - shims!!) and the TB as you suggested. I use Acetone as a fuel additive and it works well for me so far. I also gave the engine a microlon treatment at around 10K and use Synthetic oil (Mobil Delvac1 SAE 5W-40) since 15K, changed every 5-6K (all in kilometers). Air and fuel filters get changed every 10 to 15K. Oil filter at oilchange. I do not really expect anything wrong with the engine. Toyota diesels have a "never die"-reputation... I will let you know, what I found when I "visit" the inside...:) Thomas J. PS: Your oil problem would be a good candidate for a switch to synthetics and try Acetone! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dan Cruger" <cozy197dl@earthlink.net> To: "Rotary motors in aircraft" <flyrotary@lancaironline.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 6:33 PM Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: OFF-TOPIC Thomas I have a VW TDI with 110K miles. I just overhauled the head do to a broke timing built. What I found with the VW is the intake/TB gets caked up from breather oil. Mine was restricted by about 50%. Yes mine smoked. The other thing is there is a sencer between the air filter box and TB. It regulates the fuel to the injectors by monitoring air flow. If this goes you should have a loss of power. Let me know if this helped.

At full power you are getting too-little air, or too much unburned fuel? Maybe your turbo does not keep up with the engine at high rpm?

(Was a Engine-man on Merchant Ships in a different live :)) However it only does it at WOT (or the diesel equivalent...), not ANY indication of smoke anywhere else. There is lots of Toyota Diesels running around here and a lot DO smoke all the time - I assume negligence with maintenance...). If you are familiar with the claims of Acetone in fuel (should clean the fuel system just fine....), it should help a lot with keeping the injectors clean. 110K km is normaly nothing for a Toyota Diesel.... Probably I am just fishing for a different explanation - no shops to do such a job (Injector adjustments/overhaul) around here. Any tests I can do to rule out other causes?

I see it on boats all the time. Overhauling the injectors fixes that. buly On Jan 1, 2007, at 8:30 PM, Thomas y Reina Jakits wrote: Buly, water IN the injectors is pretty unlikely - I use and actually change a fuel filter regularly - The Toyota filter is made to seperate water, never any problem. However if you imply water drops hitting the injectors.... Anyone else?

I would suggest servicing them. Any water in the injectors most likely will blow the tips off I was told. Buly On Jan 1, 2007, at 7:44 PM, Thomas y Reina Jakits wrote: Hi all, First HAPY NEW YEAR!! to all of you! :)) Question: A couple of weeks ago, someone (I think it was Lynn....) mentioned feeding waterspray into the throttlebody/carburator at around 2000 rpm (piston engine) to clean any deposits from the cylinder/piston/ turbo/etc. The discussion was about cleaning lead deposits from sparkplugs in the Rotary, me thinks.... I wonder if anyone of you is also a Dieselhead (besides the Rotary:)): Would this procedure help with a small Turbo-Diesel? (Toyota 3L Turbo Diesel). It runs great, but starts to puff small black clouds if I really rev it (Redline 4400 rpm). Smoke puffs start at around 3300 with pedal on the floor - under full load. I wonder if this is only some carbon deposits in the exhaust or a dripping injector or ??? I am running Acetone in the fuel (so far good results....). The engine has close to 110K km on it. I don't mind testing something, but if it is a definite no-no, I would like to know up front - it IS my daily driver. The engine is runnnig on Mobil Delvac 1 (The Mobil synthetic for Diesels) If it makes any sense to clean the engine with water spray no and then, please advice!!
