Sorry I was not quite clear enough.its puffing blue/grey smoke on tick over and black under load,both in large amounts.before I stripped the car it was puffing on Rickover as above,but no smoke under load.i have run the car for a week now hoping it's just where the engine has been sitting,but it's no better.would 1 week be long enough?
Also it's seriously down on power which would add weight to your turbo suggestion.
No time at mo due to work but will ghetto it soon
I was thinking of buying a compression tester to rule out cylinders and bores first and I have a spare engine to swap spares with.
I'm told that blue and grey smoke is oil and black is fuel,is this correct.
Also just need to know the layout of the vac pipes ,I have 3 on a vacumn solenoid but don't know what goes where,any help appreciated,Tia tony
