    no worries. mostly i'd be checking the green plug on the CPS, ignitor plug, injectors plugs, but really it could be any of them as the wire/s could pulled have been pulled just slightly, but badly enough to fuck the connection. just gotta give them all a good once over.

    it'll blow smoke for quite a while though as there would be oil all throught the intake.

    I wonder what happens to the scrapers/oil control rings, and the others, when this happens & imagine all the pan/sump shit that must get dumped into the ring lands.
    'I've scrapped better.' John stated when asked about the car by the guy with the silver tipped cowboy boots!

    CPS was was the only one of those I hadn't checked and it all looks good, re-plugged it anyway.

    And I think I've been through most of the smoke blowing phase, much less smoke now than initially and I drained the intake piping / IC etc and got rid of some oil that way.
