Bought myself a lovely looking disco for donoring to my 90 project.
It has apparently been using a bit of oil but I don't know how much as its not been used much of late.
It throws out a bit of smoke out the exhaust and when revved hard we have quite a bit of black smoke.
Out of the filler cap I get some white smoke - even pushing out around a closed cap.
If I leave it to run on tickover with the bonnet down to get some heat into the engine, I have found white smoke coming out into the cabin via the dash vents.
No oil in coolant / vise versa.
Dipstick tube doesn't blow out any oil etc.
Engine starts immediately every time and shuts off just as quickly when key turned off.
I've just gutted the car of all its interior. Timing belt changed and timing tweaked to get it bang on according to haynes procedure.
Had thought it was going to be ready for swap - but am now considering a full / partial rebuild before swapping it into the 90.
Preparing for an involved job here but not quite sure where to start. Have tools but no compression tester.
Any suggestions as to possible problems or solutions?

Oh, and the rad and intercooler would be nice...i'll be done then.
