hi chaps .

well heres the thing , racing my car , i erronously ignored the det light to a bit of a degree :$ and had it blow a hose off next run .no smoke at all,


put hose on ,then on tickover it started to smoke after about a minute of running . if i revved it the smoke would billow, then dissappear and it would be clear whilst revving ,.then tickover for a while and smoke again .

it then went onto 2 and i drove home .
head gasket was eaten through for about an inch betwen 2 ,and 3,. pistons look perfect . filled bores with oil ,not moved ,but maybe just too thick to drain down .

now the q is , is there anything about a blownhead gasket in that position ,that would make smoke ?


oh ,no smoke on the way home .and after it went onto 2 it never smoked again .

im tending towards a total strip and no 3 piston is cracked ring lands . but i thought its worth putting a gasket in and seeing if it still smokes .
pistons are omega casts .
smoke was bluish grey
no rise in water temp on way home .

regards
robert

only thing i can think apart from shagged lands is it was sucking oil from the push rod holes,

along the same lines...maybe more likly is it pressureised the crankcase via the pushrod holes.

I guess all you can do is whack a gasket on and hope :/

Give it a try for the sake of a gasket Roberto!

Robert when my ring lands packed up, i could just see some damage if i looked down the edge of the piston. Stick the gasket on and try a comp test.
