It will tell you if your rings are sealing, valve seats/guides are sealing, and if your headgasket is knackered.

Before getting the engine rebuilt , check all the basics ie. mixture, ignition timing, ignition system. Might just need a bit of a tune.

I managed to stop my mk2 8v smoking by doing a very expensive oil change.

Years of cheap oil just clogged everything up.

2 lots of engine flush
5-40W Synth Oil (not the cheap stuff)
Slick 50
Genuine VW Oil filter

Did the job a treat, well put it off for a few months anyway. ;D
