Hey!

After my inframe renovation of my 1990 renix I am finally starting her up again!

now the smoking is pretty massive and I don’t know if it’s just normal oil burning from all the messing around, an exhaust leak or if it’s about to blow up.

smells a bit like burnt rubber, no gas leaks what I can see

what does it look like to you?
please give me some expert advice, I have zero experience here

 

Well the vid was a bit too short to tell. It looked like oil burning off the exhaust. How much smoke came out of the tailpipe?

Wipe any visible oil off the exh pipe, bell housing, oil pan and trans pan. If it runs OK, let it run for 10 minutes or so (let it get up to full temp). Keep checking oil pressure. If all good, go for a short drive. Check for any oil on the floor before you go.

 

Oil on the exhaust will make a surprising amount of smoke. As long as its not coming out of the tailpipe and the engine isnt making any weird noise you should be fine.
Sounded ok in the video and just looked like oil on the exhaust.
