I just bought a 1961 M38A1 with the F-134 motor I want to add a oil filter to it ,but need some Pictures and info on where to install the oil lines and other info I might need to do it. Thanks
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Blue smoke, oil in exhaust, oil on #1 plug other 3 plugs had burnt oil. It is defiantly burning oil..I do have a bunch of the manuals I downloaded them when I first got it. As for the bubbles I went to go look and I popped the hood and noticed my oil pressure line to the oil filter was rubbing against the fan belt and was leaking oil. So my fun stopped there. I put a temp fix on it, I want to drive it around some more before I tear into it. When i bought this the guy told me it did not smoke at all but no way to show me because it did not run... Oh well I enjoy working on things. Some pics of the temp fix.first, Do you possess all necessary M38A1 manuals?

have you pulled the head off your motor yet? has it been milled, rather rebuilt already?
before you go spend money, do some investigation.
-white smoke ? coolant (water steam)
-blue smoke? oil
-black smoke? fuel (too rich)
look for bubbles in rad... during operating temp 160-180 deg. (head gasket.)
re-torque head bolts to spec
vacuum check ...
compression check. both wet and dry.
let us know.
