11:1 is 6 bar, cause you add one for the atomsphere, that's a spot on reading :thumbs: The most important thing is that they're the same. Also heat in the engine will cause the rpessure to be slightly raised. | |

if you find another c16xe itll probably still smoke, think vauxhall built them that way! | |

but thats an expensive job, thinking of searching for a nice smoke grey GSi, low mileage, non smoker etc etc, and swap the TBs over | |

I had smokey engine syndrome - had the cylinder head stripped, ported and polished. Built it all up, and it still smoked! Had the bottom end done, which cured it and gave the engine a new lease of life (obviously!). The piston rings were completely gone! | |

that would make the compression low........? | |

Probably the piston rings - same thing happened in my GSi. | |
