I have a 1959 g12.. Runs fine but does blacken the timing side exhaust.. Don't see any smoke normally. Today, after standing for 2 weeks, it smoked from the same pot on startup and dripped oil from the down pipe /exhaust union. Any thoughts?? Value guide. Tight valve? Just done 20 miles and running fine. Cheers nigel... Might be wet supping?

Re: Smoking g12
Wet supping is drinking beer! You obviously mean wet SUMPING. In only two weeks there SHOULD not be too much oil in the engine cases. I would have thought if it had wet sumped that it would have tried to get out both sides. Personally I would suspect something is wrong on the timing side. How long has it been together? Have you done many miles?
