If you replace valve seals, usually they bed themselves in for a little bit.

You'll get a bit of smoke for a while (or so im lead to believe, i could be wrong) then it goes away after a while...

do you know the condition of your turbo?

cos it could be the turbo bearings.

ahk hopefully thats the case and they will maybe take a couple days to bed in then seeeings i drove it for the first time this arvo ey! umm turbo is a hks 3037 gtpro being going for about 18mnths on 15psi. so i hopefuly doubt its that. had it off neways no oil newhere :0

yeh doesn't sound like its your turbo, great choice btw! those turbos are the bee's knees!

i sat give it at least 1000 kms and see where your at from there.

maybe try a compression test to see if anything is abnormal!?

compression is all sweet had the bottom end built fully a year ago wen i did the conversion

could a shitty lifter cause it? coz there is a noisy one (effing loud) as of today ???

im gunna put some of that lifter free stuff through tmoz and see wot happens

Did you replace valve guides at the same time as doing valves stem seals? Otherwise from that, busted oil ring on a piston comes to mind.

[andygr32]

na we didnt but come to think of it we probably should have ey?

Umm yer man.
