The tool called for hi temp RTV....I was thinking threadlocker too, but I just went with what the directions called for....I installed the sleeve today, pounded on the knarles, however I could not see the sleeve down in the block....I used a straw to put some oil in that cylinder, and installed the spark plug, let the car sit for about 9 hours...I started it up, and it instantly started smoking out the exhaust....I let it run for about 5 minutes at idle, and the smoke started to dissapate....if I dropped a small amount of RTV down into the cylinder, would that cause it to smoke too?? I don't think I dropped any down there, but just in case when I was cleaning the threads on the insert....So long story short, I am not driving the car, but letting the RTV cure until tomorrow morning....When it started, the exhaust smelled very rich, and I know I have a vacuum leak near the EGR valve.
Also the idle was a little rough too.
Any suggestions?
