Well I've had this new Cobra for about 3 months now.
Started having the infamous "white smoke" from the exhaust shortly after buying it. The car had a catch can installed on it, but it didn't seem to be helping much at all. It had an out of the box wideband and tune on it from a company called "Daytona Sensors LLC".
Long story short. It was white smoking like crazy last night. (Only does it on startup) and people were making comments. Smelled antifreeze, and popped the hood to discover that the coolant reservoir had spewed all over the passenger side of the engine and was now empty. Put some water in it and puttered home.
Today we busted it open to begin an overdue investigation of WTF is going on with this car...here's what I found:
1st spark plug bay driver side
2nd, 3rd, and 4th bays on driver side looked like this but still had remnants of oil around the top and on the coil packs.
and the driver side spark plugs...looking like garbage. In order from front to rear.
So you guys got any ideas? I know a compression/lead down is probably the next step, but if anyone has any additional ideas or input I'm sure it could only help.
Probably time to start looking at MMR shortblocks lol. oke: :cryyying:
