Default blue smoke from a Perkins 4-108

4-108 that does not leak!!!
Call the national perkins dealer and talk to a tech or the guy that
teaches. I will try and findthat # for you. They will also tell you who in
your area is a perkins mech.
For what it is worth I had blue and black smoke. Ran the **** out of it
changed the oil several times, once ran moto-flush thru it. No smoke now
and seems to run cooler. However you may want to have real diesel mechanic
do a compression test. New fuel may make a difference too.

Allen, thanks! I'd appreciate the number. Actually, I said no obvious leaks,
but we haven't crawled around that much yet. :-)
