<VV> 1962 rampie

[J R Read_HML]

Is there oil in the lower shrouds?  Possibly you are smelling an oil leak 
from one or more places (like push rod tube seals as example) which is 
burning off - on the exhaust manifolds.  Is it an oil odor or an exhaust 
odor?

If you cannot turn the heater off, you could at least temporarily stuff a 
rag into the outlet in the cabin.  If it is exhaust that you smell, better 
keep a window open as well.

Later, JR
