Think you just need to relax a bit, you bought that car of a mate of mine, When he had it there was any smoke what so ever out of it, the only think was that it seem to be held back some times on boost

What oil are you using? Might be time for rebuild bud. Nice mileage!

And that milage is nothing to a toyota had a glanza a couple of months ago with over 220,000Kms on it and wasnt a bother on it

Oh right its you thats grand!do i have to lift the head to change the valve stem seals or can the cylinders be compresssed with air?

 

[Skalabala]

Cylinders can be compressed with air. You can also use rope to fill up the cylinder through the spark plug hole and then turn the crank to compress the rope

 

[JohnOBrien8]

theres another good method never heard of that before!so its a handy job?

 

[Johnny_C]

why are you going changing the valve stem oil seals?

 

[JohnOBrien8]

the car is very smokey and using quite a bit of oil,after reading up on here thats what i think the problem is,not the turbo as no oil anywhere around it and it boosts fine,compression is ok,what else could it be?any suggestions advice would be great!
