[Carb'd 280z, white/gray smoke valve cover breather]

Thanks guys.  Very disappointed obviously.  I've driven the car maybe 10 miles since winning it on BAT.  Well I had planned on doing an RB25DET swap with Fever Racing in Tampa.   Its costly so I was hoping to drive this for a year while saving up but I guess its moving to the front of the list.

Well compression test didn’t go so well and more smoke coming out of both breathers.  Here are the number so I have bad compression in two cylinders.

Thanks for the reply Silverado.  That's my dilemma; am I overthinking?  Do I try to recirc the gas or address a possible nonexistent problem?  I guess I downplayed the amount of smoke a bit... it does come into the cabin and rises from the hood so its more than wisps.  I will run the compression test tonight and report back.  Thanks all!

Checked oil.  Can’t really say it smells like much of anything... maybe a little like fuel.

I'll check tonight and report back.  Thanks again.

My buddy has the gauge so he is going to stop by tomorrow and we will run a compression test.  The only smell I get is fuel...  I will check the oil.  No issues with coolant and operating temps / oil pressure / etc all read normal on the gauges.  Thanks for the reply!

Hi all.  I have a new to my 280z with triple weber carbs.  I just purchased this car via auction last month.  I have driven it half a dozen times and after warming up the I see white/gray smoke whisping from the valve cover breather.  Should this have been recycled gas or is it indicative of an internal problem?  My searches yielded several potential problems on stock engines.  Any input would be great.
