Umm, check the oil level.
More than likely though, your brother has put a thinner oil than should have been put in there, and it's either; a) getting through the rings and smoking that way b) getting through the valve stem seals If the oil level is ok, you can use a thick oil, such as 20w/50, 25w/60 or 25w/70. This will mask the problem until even a thick oil will get through and blow smoke. Then it'll be time for a new engine/major engine repairs.

I had that problem with my ED after i did a service once, and after a couple of days it just seemed to stop smoking, although i don't know if this is a good thing or not,
Either way i'm hoping it won't do it again, once i chuck a tickford head on it. Can anyone tell me if it's worth while to put in a ED XR6 ECU on once i fit the Tickford head??? Or should i just stick with my normal ECU??? |
