right......... started it up today after gapping the plugs fixing a burst water hose and sorting the breather system out....

NOW............ fookin hell does it smoke!! so its fooked somewhere!!

I connected the bailey breather so two rocker cover pipes went into it... one from sump and one to atmosphere....

this wasnt good enough and the car REALLY smoked like fook on tickover.

with one rocker cover pipe going to atmosphere and two of the bailey pipes going to atmosphere there was no smoke from the tailpipe...

does this help diagnose the problem anymore? is it the rings being that worn or could be something else?

also it wont rev past say 5300 even with no load.... just revving it... i havent held it at that as it has no load, but 5300 is pretty much all it will physically rev to?
