unless the bores are worn past the tolerences stated in the haynes, then you will need a re-bore and oversized pistons with new rings, I had to do this, the pistons were £45 Each for .5 oversized

Compression test will indicate blown head gasket

Blue smoke usually burning oil i think, and white smoke is water.

Get Blue smoke if i rev the car when sitting idling, but only on revs above 4k'ish and its only been noticeable after fitting my new decat exhaust.:o

Also the engine rattles a little when cold befoe warmed up, get the feeling it could be burning oil a bit aswell.

Its a 1.6 Sport. Any ideas wot needs replacing? :boggle:

Someone said its the oil rings? Someone said the Piston rings...i dont kno...aint a mechanic!! :lol:
