Definitely something near the bottom of the engine as had a test yesterday. Opened the bonnet pretty quickly after doing a short pull and had small puffs of smoke coming up through the headers in the same manner as would happen if you had small drops of oil dripping on something hot. Going back to thinking it is the dip stick not quite fitted properly as it was a right

Next up on my list is sorting out cooling, intakes were hotter than hell at Thunder Road. I have a water meth kit to fit at some point, and also definitely going down the spacer plate route as have seen another GTS running a shade more peak power but loads more low down torque than mine at SRR with some lovely low intake temps. You could actually put your hand on the blower lid after a run and it wasn't even warm. In fact, Charlie had to let the car run for a while at one point to get ECT's back over 80c as it had cooled so quickly!
