my new engines started smoking mainly on idle, 2 of my mates think its stem seal as its fine when im driving.

the engines only done about 150 miles so could it be still running in?

if not is there a tool to change the stem seal without taking the head off?

hopefully you can put my mind at rest

cheers eden

To quote....

"Run the cunt in. This is it!"

Jack the front of the car up nice and high. If the smoke stops, it's likely to be valve guides/seals.

possibly worn valve guides in the head. WE had that problem with the van, when not on boost the turbo was sucking oil into the exhaust.

in that case then i rekon it just wants more miles. As the guides havent long been done and i did fit new seals wen the engine was built, just not the best 1s

You can push em back down with a screw driver.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.
