Yeah, compression test as advised, general checking over to if they can see the problem and then go from there.

I really can't be doing with another big expense to put this right, so hopefully it's something simple.

Fcuksticks! Fingers crossed it's nothing nasty and is a quick, cheap fix.

Didn't look bad at all, just a puff of smoke when booting it after a time on idle. Does breathe heavily though for an NA.

I can still drive it and performance wise it seems ok, it's just guzzling oil and stinks!

What grade oil are you using? Maybe it's just a bit too thin after the head work you had to have done.

5w40

[techieboy]

Not ultra ultra thin but still on the thin side of thick. Dunno. Getting into the realms of me not knowing what the feck I'm talking about. Hope it's something as simple as that though.

Fingers crossed then. Shouldn't be anything too big if there's an issue... otherwise it probably wouldn't run

[AliM]

apparently there is a list of things they need to talk to me about
