Sad days for the Cuore :'(

[LadySteve]

I'll help down south....giggidy

Your garage is talking a bit of rubbish though. There is only 3 reasons for oil entering the bores:
Worn piston oil control rings
Leaking valve guide seals
Cracked head or block

The last would be the only one to need a new engine and I highly highly doubt it's that.
When does it smoke? If it's just after it's been idling then you get a puff on pull away, it's normally valve guides.

Tbh we could have this back together in a day. There is sod all to this kinder egg present engine

It smokes mostly if I rev it while it not moving. Drops alot of oil out the back with no smoke if its left idleing for a while...hardly ever smokes while im actually driving

I'm sure if you make lots of bacon and tea I can drive over and throw abuse at Steve while pretending to help?




Course I'll help, do it down South

Haha sweet man thanks. Will probably call u up on that and can defo provide the refreshments for ur trouble

James these have a reputation of burning oil I think so you may pick up a new engine only for the same thing to happen 100 miles down the road

Yeh. On the one hand it would be easier and cheaper to just bang in a new engine...but as u say...might end up with exact same problem..or even something worse
