Friday afternoon after arriving from work with a new battery for the s2.
I fitted the battery, started it and there was a big plume of blue smoke. Not just a little puff as if the valve seals were knackered but clouds of it Its been smoking for a while now and its only done 400 miles since the rebuild so i thought it was time to get to the bottom of things.
Anyhow knowing there was something amiss i removed the head to inspect things. When i pulled out the head bolts i found what can only be discribed as a metally paste on the shank of the bolt Anyway i pulled off the head to inspect. The head and the valves look ok, a bit black cause its running rich as i was running it in but nothing unusual.
Then i decided to measure the wear in the bores as there was a bit of piston slap lmao (at this point i lost the plot and laughed rather than taking number 3 hammer to the er)
Heres what i found:-

No1 = Top to bottom 80.2 mm
Side to side 80.25 mm

No2 = Top to bottom 80.5 mm
Side to side 80.3 mm

No3 = Top to bottom 80.6 mm
Side to side 80.1 mm

No4 = Top to bottom 80.2 mm
Side to side 80.25 mm
N.B No1 = water pump end

Is this bad? They are Acrolite pistons so i dont know if there should be play or not. What do you think guys?
Any help would be great as im at my wits end at the moment
:cheers:

mrviper

was any of the plugs oiled up ?

Robsta35

nope plugs were dry just sooted (black) from all the fuel.
Need some ideas on this one guys dont know what to do at the moment

mrviper

must be the turbo because i would of thought if oil was geting in the cylenders one way or another the plugs would be oil soaked by the amount of smoke
