5T4R7ET N/A Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 what colour is the smoke. It could be a number of things, e.g. Vavle stem seals or a shagged turbo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WallaceGlanza Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Welcome to the site.:harhar:A compression test would be the first thing I would do to give you an idea of the engine condition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Russleh Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 describe your problem a bit more mate and im sure people will be able to help. i had a knackered piston and piston ring and there was loads of oil coming out the rocker breaker ( was gonna post a pic bnut photobucket is not my friend :harhar: )burning oil and smoking tho soulds more valve related i think tho but im not the clued up. i just know burning oil and smoking are usualy valve stem related. and whether you need a new engine or not is really a matter of if you have time to rebuild or fix the bits that may be broken.

Russleh Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 for parts have a look at all the traders on here. my bottom end cost me bout 200 for rings and bearings for big end main and thrust washers. get a compression test and that should make anythin cylinderwise clear.
