Olnick Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Get it timed correctly and see what happens. Then go from there. Fortunately you don't have to split the block (OHC and all, ya' know!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 If you didn't replace the PCV valve with a new one I suggest you try that to see if that will do away with the smoke problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussieliberty Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 ok heres the latest update... Replaced the timing belt correctly and started and ran fine but still smoked. Replaced PCV filter and used motor flush additive in oil and changed the oil. Then heres the confusing part... re-did the compression test an got some different results... Dry Wet Cyl1 - 180 - Cyl2 - 80 120 Cyl3 - 180 - Cyl4 - 45 65 This now would lead me to look at the rings as the problem... but is it weird to have two go in such a short period of time?? am i even on the right track?? Thanks again for all the help guys. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 It looks like you are going to have to pull the head and check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
