Recent smoke issues that my car has had, have come, gone and reappeared differently. Im now starting to gear myself into the reality that I will have to rebuild the block, due to the smoke. I believe that the whisp of blue on overrun is one of my oil rings on the way out. Being realistic I cannot afford to do an engine rebuild, ive thrown the best part of a months wages at it over the last six months, and with trying to get a deposit together it would beirresponsible and selfish to keep throwing money at this car. The problem is very slight the car still pulls like a train and recently got good compression, and has rebuilt tubs. I dont know if it will pass an emmission test nect year for mot, so I can and will continue to use the car till then. Next january. Nowits not 100% that there is anything wrong with it, it may just be the residual oil or something simole but I have a gut feeling it isnt. I really dont want to break/sell but ive had enough really. This isnt a for sale add, I will not sell it for ay least another 6 months, more of a public expression of frustration and face of reality. :(

You will need to be subbed on the forum in order to sell on here matey.

 

Did you check the intercooler pipe work yet? could still be masses of oil floating about in the pipe work that needs clearing.

Had to go for the evening straight from work. Grrr

sorting out a biotope mate?

 

No in a ln underground balance tank fitting a level sensor, literally up to my eyes in it.

Did you sort this issue Z32bolt?

Sort of yeah, sort of no lol. The more I drove it the less it got, then it would intermittently get bad again. It doesn't burn oil oddly, as in I don't consume any. Plugs are clean etc. I changed the plug gap up to 1.1 as per FSM and that reduced it even further, Infact I think it stopped it. I sorn'd the car before I could confirm a difference, unfortunately it did result in dett so I've gotta fiddle about....great.

 

Luckily I got a new job as well which doubled my salary, we moved into our first house in November. Next year the cars having a rebuild, well that's the plan, the shitbox house keeps robbing me blind.

Interesting read there bud.
