micky boy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Yeah true lol....you will need the top end of your engine rebuilding with new ruber oil seals ect.....But dont take my work for it though it might not be that if you know someone that is good with cars ask them to have a look at it for you.and get there opinionIf you know a garage that can be trusted then take to a garage....Cause sometime a garage will say it is the valve stems and its not.Hope that helps lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wantaglanz Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 the top part of the engine will need to come off and the seals replaced on the valves, check the coolant to make sure it hasnt got any gunk in it also just incase its head gasket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Laura_ep91 Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 coolant is fine just the oil is burning could i do the job myself or will i get dirty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wantaglanz Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Bit of a dirty job, you will have to set the timing up afterwords and you may aswell change the head gasket while your their Quote Link to post Share on other sites

micky boy Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Its a very big job it would be easier faster and cheaper to buy a new engine.get someone to have a look at your car like i said it might not be the valve stem seals Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 i herd you can do the valve stem seals without taking the engine head block out.you need some special tool to stop the valve dropping or something?????? get the car checked out from a trusted garage, could be a leak if your filling up often, have a look yourself.when valve stem seals are going, oil normally burns more if you boot it a lot. revving above 3.5kdo you drive calmly or enthusiastically?? ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Enzo Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 How often are you toping up with how much oil? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
