I have recently been getting some black smoke out of the exhaust on my 1950 248ci. I checked the carb and it seems to be OK and adjusted correctly. Fuel pressure seems good. The ignition also seems correct. I removed the valve cover to check the rocker arm adjustment and I ran the motor to watch them. I noticed that several of the push rods were spinning while it was running. Has anybody seen this or know what causes it? Is it OK? I thought the springs might be weak in the lifters, so I ordered new ones. Any comments or suggestions (Good or Bad) would be welcome.
Thanks,
Mark
