Smokey sierra
Hi,
I purchased a sierra sapphire cosworth 2wd and there is blue smoke coming out of it, it is also seriously down on power. the turbo isnt acually spooling up at all.
can anyone shine any light as to the problem, someone has suggested valve stem seals may be gone whilst others suggest it needs a rebuild or a new engine
. as i dont know that much about them engine wise i thought you lot might be able to help me?!
any advice would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Does not sound like it has been well treated!!
It may be the turbo is knackered or the whole engine, unfortunately, I would certainly as said look at the turbo first, just see if it spins both ends.
It could be that someone has seriously let the boost off with the actuator rod, maybe to disguise a well worn engine, I hope not, but a compression test might not go amiss either.
