Started my mb6 the other day after a year of being stood, puff of white smoke from exhaust and back of engine for a few seconds which then cleared up, rattling noise coming from back on intake manifold which slows down when engine is warm so sounds like tick tick. The temp gauge will not go over 1/3 so its me thinking engine is not getting warm enough as vtec does not engage or is it because I have an alloy radiator. Forgot to mention I checked oil first thing before starting and there is enough, the oil is also 3 years old but only done 200 miles and also most importantly a few weeks ago I changed my manifold to aftermarket and noticed the last manifold port is stained in dried oily residue, not sure why. Can anyone help please because this car has been stood for 3 years and I want to bring it back on road this time and not leave it parked up for another year.
