Thank you very much for your help.  I won't get to chance to change the plugs out until next weekend but will definitely let you know the result.  I have gotten the same advice from others so hopefully it is as simple as that.

Thanks again,

I just checked the oil and it's full and clean.  Do you think a good first step might be to change the spark plugs?

It doesn't seem to be consuming much oil.  It seems to be missing at idle and under load.  I should add that a found a loose spark plug cable on the Drivers side but after I pushed it in there was no change.  And the smoke is coming from the opposite side of the engine.

Maintenance / Smoke from Oil Breather Filter

« on: August 02, 2009, 06:53:55 PM »

Hello All,

I have a 1967 RS/SS with a 400 (406) small block engine. Just the other day I noticed that the engine sounded like it was missing. Also, this morning I noticed smoke coming from the passenger side oil breather filter. Any ideas what might be causing this? I'm hoping it's not a blown head gasket or a damaged piston. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
