theoretical valve guide wear
Turbo Mini Forums

on from a thread below, how quick do you recon the standard cast iron guides will wear, am using avonbar thase 2 cam, has only started to smoke in the last 200 miles, done 800 miles on new engine, cant see it being that quick though, smokes a bit on start up and then only when you run alot on over run then when you put your foot down a puff comes out and then nothing, no smoke under acceleration
cheers

sad to say but....... go for the turbo

the seals are goosed and will get worse

not too bad at mo but will keep an eye on it, il go for the usual things first, compression test and so on but your probably right, i was thinking turbo any way, why all these new turbos smoke is baffling me
