Hey everyone. I just put a brand new radiator onto my L20ET, I had to get it custom made as you cant buy them new from any radiator shops anymore. The reason I needed to get a new one was that the plastic top tank on my factory radiator cracked.

So, I put the new radiator on and I have a weird problem... The motor is smoking chronicly, (white smoke that smells like petrol). When I first started the car it seemed like steam, wait a bit longer and it just starts pouring out this white vapour. Under acceleration it builds up more and more. And it sits in the air for a long time afterwards. Upto 1 minute once the car is turned off and theres capour still coming out of the exhaust.

This has me stumped as to what it could be. I have Oil, Transmission oil and Coolant so that doesnt seem to be the problem...

Anyone have any ideas? This has me stumped as it was running fine before the radiator cracked. Its also kinda lumpy in idling and the motor seems to be moving a little bit more than usual.

Regards, George

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
