Hi rich. I was mainly getting the smoke when stopped at traffic lights. I would notice a blue haze appear from the back of the car. Very embarrassing because I knew the the engine was new! I have fitted valve stem oil seals to the exhaust valves and I think it has cured it. The car goes for it's MOT ...

Dear Hans. Thank's for the advice. I have fitted valve stem oil seals to the exhaust valves this afternoon. Couldn't feel any play in the stems. The spark plug electrodes were grey, so ok. The plugs are ngk bpr6, do you think they might be a little cold? I have'nt asked the guys at the engine ...

Hi Dayle, yes the car is still for sale, I'm sorry for not responding sooner. I rather unexpectedly bought another Midas a few weeks ago and find I cannot now keep two. The Exhaust smoke is bothering me though. I supplied the head to the engine builders. I bought it off eBay a couple of years ago ...

Dear Mike, I'm really sorry to hear about Charlie. I bought my Bronze from him. He was a real power behind Midas ownership and I was very pleased when he was made an honorary member. We will miss him. Please pass on my deepest sympathies to Rose and his family. Brian.
