Raul, Just heard from Gary and he said he had talked with you and it looks like you've got truck buds with you that can get you home with a dolly. That's cool 
So when you're busted down do you kick back with your entertainment center, microwave meals and enjoy the hot tub? 
What's that quote in your sig line?

I was getting ready to move two vw's and a type 1 engine I'm re-sealing in order to get his bus in here. looks like he's got it handled. I would have been happy to help.

it means that i have put 16k miles on the eng in the last year
& during those 16k
the bus is either going 70-85 mph
or hualing a heavy load with a trailer at 60mph
without a problem
last year the load i was hualling was so heavy the tranny gave out before
the type-4 engine
with the fuel injection & hydrollic lifters its practically
maintance free compared to ......
after taking a closer look at the engine today
it looks like the cork gasket on oil breather got blown out
hopefully that is what spread the oil all over the eng compartment
& causing the white smoke

I'm kinda vague on what's going on, but ...
oil from the breather tower would have a hard time getting on the really hot stuff below the tin to make smoke.
Usually the only thing that makes a considerable amount of smoke, oil leak related is improperly put on head covers leaking onto the heater boxes.
More likely you've burned a valve. Someone said that if you (first adjust the valves right) drive it for 100 miles or so, it can re-seat itself. -just a guess though about that |

If the seal blew out it might have because of higher than normal breather pressure. Not sure what could cause that except internal engine wear/damage like a bad ring maybe...
