If they are wrong, drop the oil and coolant and run some fresh stuff thru then drop it again just to be sure...

sorry to hear that dude, dont give up its worth it in the end !!

[hazell ep91 sr]

So asad the white smoke could just be water vapour?

I wont give up

[micky boy]

Asad always talkes sence Hope it is the pipes mate and yes it could just be water vapour

[hazell ep91 sr]

Fingers crossed.. still a bit confused whats supposed to go where lol

[Asad]

Could be that youve mixed the pipes up and waters got in (youd be surprised how many trained people do this), can check and see mate fingers crossed thts all it is....let us know how you get on buddy

[micky boy]

Haha yeah it can be abit tricky if you dont know how.

If you want mate ill take a few pics of my throttle body etc tomorrow and see if that help?

[Asad]

If your confused about the water pipes loop them up so they dont run thru the throttle body

[hazell ep91 sr]

But would that explain the noise? Will run compression test tomorrow too. Some pics would help too. I think the vacuum pipes are blocked off as someone know with a glanza said they werent needed?

[Asad]

Dont worry mate, gets some pics up/check things over tomorrow with a fresh head

[hazell ep91 sr]

Yeah will do

Thanks for all the help so far guys!

[hazell ep91 sr]

Inlet hoses are fine. The white smoke stinks. Just like my dads rover v8 in his ac cobra kit car and his piston rings seized. God knows whats wrong. Feel proper deflated now and struggling to even find a rounaround car for the meantime.

[Asad]

Does it just smoke on idle? Or when you rev it? Have you dropped the oil out? The noise?

[hazell ep91 sr]

Smokes most when i rev it. Brand new oil in there before i started it. Engine had no oil in before i put it in. And noise is still there. Sounds like a diesel. Defo running on 4 cylinders.

[Asad]

Using any water?

[hazell ep91 sr]

Nope.header and radiator level hasnt moved.
