" I have a trojan 35' on twin inboards crusaders 454, 350 hp. Recently I changed oil on boths engines, I have an oil changing system with 3 valves connected to each engine and gen set for the purpose of oil change.
This oil changing system valves have a butterfly on the back, use to adjust friction, well after removing old oil, I used the same system to add new oil to the engines.
The gen set valve was selected close, but apparently the valve allowed oil to be sent to the Gen set. Experience, Now I just use the system to remove the oil and add the new one manually.
So, I ran both engines short of at least 1 or 2 quarts for a good 2 hours of operation, before i found out the unussual white smoke on both engine and Gen set.
I discover my mistake by noting a deficit of oil on the engines and excess of the Gen set.
A rapid careful oil and filter change took care of the problem, but my port engine is still unusally smoking, it is a white smoke during cruise, ( about 2700 rpm and above) at idle it is not noticeable.
A friend mechanic told me, if is white smoke, it got to be oil. Oil press is normal and even after running it short of 1 or 2 qts, temps and press.
were normal, but the smoking I am afraid was related to oil foaming or burning.
Well my port engine is still smoking, any ideas, comments or suggestions ?
Tkanks you in advance
