Asad Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If your confused about the water pipes loop them up so they dont run thru the throttle body Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazell ep91 sr Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hazell ep91 sr Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Does it just smoke on idle? Or when you rev it? Have you dropped the oil out? The noise? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hazell ep91 sr Posted August 11, 2012 Author Share Posted August 11, 2012 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Using any water? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
