I have a S370D four wheel drive Beaver which is in pretty good shape for it's age, but the engine exhaust has black smoke all the time and more so when it's working. It doesn't seem to use oil and a valve adjustment doesn't seem to eliminate the exhaust smoke. Would it be advisable to do a valve job without overhauling the whole engine even though it probably has a substantial amount of hours on it? I don't think any of the Beavers had hour meters installed when they were new, but it's probably an early eighties model. Does anyone have Bill Rodgers contact information or any other parts dealer for the Beavers?
Thanks,
Thom
