Default smoke on idle

hi all newbie here although i actually registered years ago never used it lol


i bought a cheap s2 of some chap and to be hoenst its a project

it smokes, the cams noisey, prob needs welding underneith but its h reg and red with 17s etc


so it smokes.....

start it up idle wise it smokes, but when driving its not too bad atall, come to a stop and idle it starts smoking, rev it it will smoke then clear if know what mean, i dont think its the guide seals as i think they might of been done

so prob rings????

looking at it now on my driveway im tinking what have i got myself into can i be arsed to do this one, but i do love the s2s and reds my fav colour, all depends on if i can find a cheap cam and sort the smoking issue out

at £450 just strip the engine and freshen it up.

Dont cost much if you do most of the work youreself.
