I picked my RS up 2day, after being away for 8 months supposed to be getting fixed.

Anyways, it's had :-

New turbo
valve stem oil seals
big end shells
tappets
pistons checked (they were new 1's already in there)
bores glazed
core plugs

after all that, there still smoke, not as bad as it was when it went, as that was just constant clouds of smoke. Now it's just moderate when i 1st start the car, till about 5-10 min's after ive had it driving about.
Anyone know what else i can check? it's really starting to píss me off

Cheers

 

i dont suppose theres oil in the exhaust thats burning off is there?

 

Hmmm not thought of that, cheers m8, i'll get that checked out

 

have you checked the oil level to see if its going down. Isnt there something tou can flush it through with?dont no what just guessing.

 

check that boost hoses and i/cooler are free of the old oil deposits from b4

 

Cheers all, ive got a m8 coming round on tuesday, so we will try & get everything checked out, hopefully it's summet simple

try giving the engine all a good clean internally. if its all been rebilt then you shouldnt find any nasty side effects. engine oil flush, coolant flush, run some of the 10k boost stuff through the inlet. should give all the internals a good clean.
if the engines a bit ropey then i wouldnt go as mad, i tried the oil flush on my nova and its helped the headgasket on its way, unpluggin all the holes.

also when they checked the pistons did they check the rings.

I've had this lot checked this morning :-

Breather
Hose's & I/C for oil (Bloke said he was surprised at how clean they were)
Exhaust

So that just leaves the piston rings... Dont it?

Cheers

 

Thats what I would have suggested first, piston rings.

Did u not get em changed when all the other work was gettin done??

 

no m8, he said he checked them & they looked alright to him, so he didnt bother

 

welllllllllll

got the piston rings changed & it's still smoking, i think its exactly the same as b4 but my other halfs dad reckons it's not.

He say's the smoke's not blue, its more a white, very light blue & doesnt smell of oil, smells more of petrol and that it will probably need the mixtures setup, then the smoke will clear.
