Evening all
Just had the landy fail for the second time on smokey engine at idle and when revving from idle. Damn thing has passed on everything else, but not that, even with the addition of plenty "stop smoke" stuff for the retest. boo.
It's worst when it's been idling for ages (like they did with it on the MOT) then when it's revved there's a fair cloud of blue....
Doesn't do it much on the overrun, and doesn't do it under power.
First stop is inlet valve seals - anything else it might be? Apart from just being generally worn out... Worth a rebuild or a replace? Not scared of either, wanting to keep it cheap (but I'll be doing it properly if a rebuild) Smokeyness is independent of crankcase ventilation system.
it's a 2.25 petrol btw, 3 brg engine code from a 'aeroportable' landy, in a 68 S2A.
Cheers
