Hi there, I'm new to forum, could anyone please help me.
I have a 3dr cossie, have had it for 12 years, but it has alsways used oil.
Over my years of ownership I have had to have the turbo done, and it had a head rebuild including new guides and seals.
I have done less than 15k miles since I have had it.
It runs ok apart from a misfire under load which has been diagnosed as leads so I will put some on this year.
But my main problem is the oil, it burns none at tickover, nothing under acceleration or on boost, but after a boost run and I lift off it smokes quite a bit when I put my foot back on the accelerator,
I am at a loss as I thought it was guides or turbo, could this be bottom end
as I want to solve it once and forall, I just do not know what tests to do to confirm what it is, compression is fine and i couldn't see any bore marks when I did head, I have been told that it could be due to stainless exhaust, I don't want to remove and rebore engine if it doesn't solve it,
Is there anywhere close to Dudley that could diagnose the problem properly for me so that I can sort it out
Sorry for such a long thread,
And thanks to anyone that can help
