Personally I would drain some oil out stick in some wynns oil treatment and drive it, it's probably gummed up rings which may free off or clean if your lucky, worth a try for a bit messing about, over filling with oil will void the warranty
Will call them ask the question but he will properly want the van down to Essex ,which is miles away !! I'll see what's up 1st maybe some questions being asked very soon lol
Hope you get it sorted soon but also damn you Sir! Yet Another Bay on a breakdown truck! Have you any idea how much stick I get over mine and the perception that they all breakdown! ;-) just kidding! Hope you get home safe and its nothing more than some crappage in yer rings! ;-)
Cheers bud was running good till I was a idiot lol , I'll bite the bullet and whip it out so am I right in saying if compression down it's the pistons ect if it's ok poss valve guides ,allso is it worth doing these both jobs while it's out so I no there ok bud no ur the engine man !!
No buddy I did a few miles before it smoked and realised so dropped it out but smoked since really !! Live and learn hold my hands up !! Get it fixed and get back on my adventure next weekend fingers crossed !!
good call on the wynns, my ex father in law used to fill the engine with diesel and leave it overnight drain it and refill with oil - cure for stuck rings and other stuff he always said lol
This has been happening on /of now for. Nearly 800 miles but does clear some times and seems fine on mway but today constant smoke then when drove to get on truck only bit of smoke ?
It does drive but the smokes got right bad this weekend but it's not all the time more so when I put the engine under load like foot down ? Not sure if this helps
Sorry bud not sure how the rings work but I just got dropped half way home and swapped over trucks as bloke was passing us , started it and no smoke !! But rev it there is a bit but it's in the pipe but will try it under load and can try it and take it for a spin as she sounds lovley still !! I'll try it later on and report back guys cheers
rings on pistons have a small gap in them they seal and stop oil going up from the sump to the combustion area on the crown of the piston, they are sprung to allow expansion through the temp range, if one is gummed up and stuck in its groove in the piston then oil will find its way into the combustion area and there's your smoke, free it off so it can do its job and no smoke - the symptoms you show suggest it's sticking hence the sometimes/sometimes not.....
I totally agree and understand i think iv seen the stuff in a purple bottle I'll try find some later try it !! Makes sence buddy cheers for the idiot guide !! Ill report back
This might go back to when your resto was done you couldnt give it any real stick because the throttles didnt open fully and so it gummed up then. Or is the oil on the side where the crankcase breather returns to the carb. If so it might just be the excess oil blowing out. Look inside the filters for lots of oil one side or the other.
right guys think iv found where the gremlin is but the cause and what to replace is where i need recomendations heres a few pics ,this is number 1 guys as u can all proberly tell !! the oil treat ment made no change but thanks for your help and trying to save me ££££ @rickyrooo1 @davidoft
