Hi Folks,
My 3dr is blue smoking when I come down gears so I'd considered removing the head to have a look at valve guides etc...
I've searched and read that it could be turbo oil seals but it's had a rebuilt turbo in the past so I'm not sure until I've checked the intercooler pipes.
I know the car has a 200 block in there so I'm guessing It will have a studded block too...?
Is there any advice for removing the head? Am I best leaving the turbo and inlet manifold on or are these best removed?
Do I need to be under the car at all as getting it on a jack is a nightmare as it is so low.

Where do I look to see any markings on the block/head to denote what motor is has in there? It clearly isn't the original engine but I'm not sure about the head.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks
