|
i think this question has been asked b4
but i was just wondering if the blue smoke is the burning of the oil or if it is the head again. cos i have done the head once b4 but it didn't do it like this. also the car had been making funny noises when i accelerate about halfway pushing the peddle.
the car runs hot all the time so i think that the head has gone.
would it be better to get a new engine or fix this reco engine that has had a head problem many times b4 i got it.
nay help would be appreciated
thanks

| piston rings? when your rings are fucked it blows a shitload of blue smoke, if you are going to take it apart to check the head or whatever, change the rings while you are at it, if its not rings, a new set wont hurt!! |
