Right engine smoking and reving higher

[tejastelivala]

Hello,

When i start my right engine, i notice a lot more white smoke and it revs higher even at idle. Also it sounds more mettatic (if that is some way to describe it). Any suggestions or ideas as to why?

Your crankshaft seal is probably leaking oil into the cylinders. Install a shutoff valve on your oil lines when not in use. Put the lanyard in the engine bay or pull the sparkplug wires as a reminder to turn oil on before starting engines.
As for the metallic sound I have that also on one of my engines, not sure why? it sounds like driveshaft rattling. In my caser however it is on the engine that does not have a crankshaft seal leak.
