naa i didnt as they looked ok, iv just had a look at the oil when wiping the dipstick it kinda spreads out over the rag and is quite thin. and yes it is brand new oil.

im kind of hoping if it is stem seals then i could have it done in a matter of a couple of hours, im just a bit worried really as the smoking calms down when it idles for a little bit then the smoking gets worse then better etc etc

You could have dumped petrol into your oil past the rings through bore washing as it wasnt starting, thinning it out and now making it very easy for the oil to pass the rings ,dip your oil does it smell of fuel? oil change time

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 don't wanna have to take the engine apart again 

Sweet! 

Did Paul help or did you manage it yourself?

Nice one mate! 

I reckon it could have the fuel in the oil mate which would cause smoke.

Our old 1.8 (similar engine) had a similar issue and so much fuel got dumped in the oil that the car would only run (albeit a bit lumpy) when the fuel pump was cut out! It was literally running on the oil fumes! 

So it MIGHT be worth changing the oil first.

Ah cheers dude!

My old man said f**k strippin the engine, drain oil then new filter and oil and see what happens

Only prob is, if oil is passing the rings because the fuel is thinning it would this stop once new oil gets replaced in?? I hope so!! Fingers crossed for me ay?

[dansmk3]

ah fook it stem seals getting replaced as they are probably the originals and have probably perished, spesh when i degreased the head

just finished work, been up 24hrs now time to crack on stripping the engine and then get me parts! i hope ecp have what i need.
