Any update here?

 

[PhilW]

Nah no updates yet, will be checking out everything on the weekend, its done it before so i'm not that bothered, its only a little amount of smoke, think last time it was down to my plugs not being torqued down enough.

Really need my rocker cover now, as i want to fit it and add some gasket sealant to the half moons and chain tensioner gasket to stop this bloody oil leak.

 

[h17och]

when does it smoke?

ive got stem seal simptons

 

[PhilW]

Its similar to oil seal problems like i had before, but like i've said its done it before when my plugs were basically loose compared to standard torque settings. Will need to check it out this week.

It happens when you blip the throttle, turbo seems fine but if it is fubar'd then, oh well, time to step up and play with teh big boys. lmao.

 

[h17och]

ill check my plugs in a mo then. got a puff on let off and when cold

COME PLAY WITH ME, COME PLAY, COME PLAY AWAY!!!

^^you need to sing that bit^^

 

[PhilW]

Hahahah. I got it.

I used to get a lot of smoke whilst in gear and off the pedals goin down a hill, then put my foot down.

Plugs were pretty shitty as well at the time.

 

[joshW]
