thought i would cambelt and change the oil filter on the missus 1.6. got all timing smack on filled new oil had slight issue with leak. so sorted that after 3rd attempt. Sign out work yard with alarm company. get onto main road and bang u can see the cars behind me for smoke covered the hole road :angry:
-

-
i filled the a17 full of smoke lol. it cleared up now after loads of scratching my head it seems ok will see how it goes
-
you havent over filled with all
-
no mate not over filled under the max mark so it not over filled
-
wired but if its ok no see what happens mate
-
Could have been wasted oil being burnt off
-
christ knows never had it before it scared the life out of me having to explain to the missus why i blown her car up and then having to let he use mine :grin: some one mentioned pouring oil to quick so it gone past the rings but i dont know
-
Oil wont go past the rings, unless they are very worn.
Sounds like something has given up.
-
you would have thought so but it runs spot on now no smoke or using oil. only thing is lacks power u cant feel it missing in the car but when it ticking over the engine jumping. i changed the plugs and leads so i dont know whether the coil breaking down

hopefully sorted the camshaft was a tooth out so stripped it 2night and re timed it all seems good now. as for smoke it was caused by the over flow of oil going down the breather pipe to the throttle body so will be getting a gud clean at weekend
