Having to top up the oil reguler, when the cars cruising along the by.pass, it runs fine, but when I get to the roundabout, blip the throttle and theres loads of blue smoke out of the excaust. thought it was the turbo, but fitted a new one, stage one, and its still the same, could it be valve stem seals, rings? New to the cossie world so anyhelp well appreciated, hope its not rebuild time.

 

Hi mate, mine does a similar thing, is there any smoke on start up when cold? on mine theres nothing, but when you give it some there is a big puff of blue smoke. How many miles has yours done? im up to 130000 so a re build may be on the cards...........

 

Could be the stem seals or it also could be your piston rings. you might need a re build good luck.

 

yep engine in bite the rings, when it was rebuilt by a plonker, he bored the block the fitted std size pistons, currently rebuilding.

 

sounds like valve guides to be honest,get a cylinder leak cheek done,ford recommend new guides etc at about 60k mls,

the heads already new, filled each bored with thinner 1 and 2 drained through within 45 mins, 3 was okay didnt lose any, 4 was nearly as bad, loads of slap in the piston were the rings are stuck in.
