Over the last few weeks ive notcied in my rear mirror that ive had a quite a bit of white smoke coming from the exhaust when ive given it a good run or on start up. It seems to only smoke on startup for about 20 seconds or when stopped at traffic lights when idling. Ive also notcied it loses a small amount of water (about half a cupful every 100miles or so).
Could this be the valve stem seals? Or could it be head gasket? Ive checked the oil and that looks all clean and the water in the expansion tank looks clean enuf.
Now seeing that my current head is very tappety and i was gonna change the cam with a new standard cam i am gonna either get another head or if thats not available then rebuild the head i got.
Is it harder work to change the head or rebuild current one? How much would it cost for parts to rebuild my head?
If my head gasket is on the way out anyway then id have to get the head off anyway.
Ive also noticed that alot of my loom plugs havent got the metal clip on them to hold them on so they keep coming off. I need about 3-5 clips. Where can i get them from?
Also i need to install my new fan switch as currently the one i got dont work and the connection has been bridged to keep the fan on all the time. I also wanted manual control for it too so it will be automatic but i got the option to turn it on myself too. Is it a case of just wiring a parallel connection to the switch or do i need to use a relay? If so how is that wired?
Many Thanks
