hallo all you maniacs..I have a tapper and suspect it is the valve stem guide seals as there is smoke when I start/drive my 6..am thinking about removing the head and send it away for a recon but it seems the places here in Telford are a complete waste of time as I have not received a callback or reply to my e-mails... Any suggestions would be much appreciated fella's. Will |

Get a referbed head from carl grimsby or carl chambers and swap it over. Be the cheapest route by far. What color smoke just out of interest? ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

Yeah, send your cylinder head to Grimbsy town centre, DN31 1AA and Carl Grimsby will bring it back to Leicester to repair it. From Grimsby. |

cheers guys..@ Aaron, white smoke on start up but clears when reaching operating temp..she does use oil but think the leaky sump also contributes towards the loss of oil. |

Sure its smoke and not steam? A lot of people get the two mixed up and these engines are quite prone to a bit of steam on a cold morning. |

Yeah, it'll be blue smoke on startup if it was burning oil. As Niall says, these engines do produce a bit of steam on cold starting, so don't worry to much about that.As for the tapping - a replacement head from Carl Grimsley in Leicester will see you right.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |
