well

its funny u mention that?

Ive just recently had the car off the road, cos the cam went i used the old one, but the rest of the engine was fully re-built 3.5k ago.

i re-built the turbo aswell while it was off road, when i got it running again it was pissing out with smoke.

Bit pissed off, had a look and found a valve guide pushed down and that port on the head was soaked in oil.

So i had the head off and had a new guide fitted.

Now its all back together it smokes for a few seconds as soon as its started then thats it never smokes again.

The bores still have the slight lines in them from the re-bore.

The compressions it produces are excellent though, about 180 per cylinder???

A lot of people have been saying about the oil returns on these engines not being up to the job for the cold oil as it doesnt drain away quick enough?
