recently had an engine change. everything running fine. then out pops the dipstick, oil everywhere. i thought that was that until i noticed it sounding alittle rough. then this morning lots of blue smoke. ive now got smoke and rattling (sounds like top end but i think it may be lower down) ive only done 1100km since engine change. engine is under warranty so wont cost me a penny. just the inconvience of it. any thoughts on the problem?

compression test it

 

dipstick poping out from pressure in the sump, caused by blocked pcv valves or combustion gases getting past the piston rings (my problem)

ok, will get compression test done. would think it being piston rings than pcv valves. i had pcv valves changed. thanx

from what you saying about the noise, poor running sounds like the rings etc

 

compression test would show up any probs with valve, rings, pistons, head gasket etc

FUBAR pistons/rings sorry :(
