I don’t know, I couldn’t face taking the engine out this afternoon.

I will have to get it out, ball ache. The car was smoking a bit so I guess there is more going on than the tooth...

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Not that know of Robert. The old girl was smoking so I think it’s engine out time and find out what’s missing bits and why it’s smoking so bad.

I recon it could be a dog tooth.

Hi all, so the motor started smoking. I have completed a compression test and compared it to the results last year, I would love to know where to go from here.
Both were cold readings. I was starting to think about pulling the motor, maybe the rings didn’t seal when it was build fresh last year. It’s done about 1500 miles including a track day. Should I do anymore testing before I start pulling the motor?

So I did the rope trick on the exhaust valves and I have installed some stem seals. This stopped the smoking.
I also took it to my local rolling road dude and had a leak down test 1 and 4 =6% 2 and 3 = 10%. We checked the emissions and they looked ok. We tried a cold-ish start and had a look in the notes with a snap-on bore scope doofer and it all looked ok.
So fingers crossed it was the exhaust valve guides being a little loose.

Fingers crossed

The variance in cylinders as they I notice on mine. I just think it’s these old engines. Cold compression readings are all over the place, but hot readings after a good hard run and they’re all pretty similar.

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

It was a bit of dog tooth, I presume from an over zealous gear change, it hasn’t crunched so I thought I would leave it. Maybe a bad idea but time will tell
