Gti 2E engine problem

[dansmk3]

ah cheers mate,

well my aux is exactly the same sprocket as the cam so i have the O T and a punched dot, the punched dot is what iv been told to go by

iv had the engine off for a second time and refurbed it all reseated the valves as none were bent on the original head which is always a bonus lol

Right guys, i am very happy right now but also very annoyed

my car is running  she is alive 

but on another note, she is burning some serious oil, (i think) seriously chucking out loads if smoke through the exhaust.

been told it could be the valve stem oil seals

any other possibilities??

as i really dont wanna have to take the engine apart again

How long have you let it run for,had a vr that did this after it had tons of cranking over a long duration through non starting /fault finding it was really smokey to start with,thought something major was up,  cleared eventually and no sign of smoke at all now,exhaust must have had fuel/oil collected in there so let it run and drive it if you can.

well i know that fuel was collecting in the cat when trying to turn over as you can hear it popping like a biatch, and this happened all the time it that it was not running propperly.

well now it is running propperly is when the smoke is happening. didnt even happen when it was not running propperly.

i have had the engine running for about 20mins while revving to try and clear it and nothing has changed

Nice one one for gettin it runnin btw :smiley:wat was it in the end? tbh 20 mins isnt very long if its the similar to wat i had,it takes hours just keep an eye on the oil level and run it

really??? im tellin ya it dont smell nice lol!

errr what was wrong??? might have been the timing, might have been a dodgy spark plug or might have been incorrectly fitted ht leads  :embarassed: :embarassed: :embarassed:

so if oil is being lost then it is defo eating oil from somewhere!!! ie stem seals?

 :grin:possibl;e stem seals but because it aint runn for a good while they may have leaked a little every time you cranked it over ,so oil collected in the exhaust and never got burnt off?

[dansmk3]

well shes running now, no smoke at first turn over but after a mo it started smoking again
