[quote][i]Originally posted by Martin W[/i] 27/5 so after a busy car show weekend (crystal palace speed trials on Saturday and classic ford show today) got speaking to a few people about my blue smoke problem. a lot of people have doubted the piston rings as i have good compression on all cylinders. one engine builder i spoke to today did that if the bores could be glazed. had a look tonight and they do look kinda glazed so would this cause the blue smoke? got the parts for the rebuild on friday from Autovaux: [IMG]http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r32/mwebb15_2006/8d10d801.jpg[/IMG] if this doesnt fix it i'll be annoyed but at least i'll know the bottom is good. now to the other problem of over fueling / poor idling and occasional hesitation/ kangerooing in low revs. been doing a little research and everything points to a faulty EGR valve. the engine management light came on once while it was kangerooing , did the paper clip test and it came up with the EGR valve aswell. however, since fitting the powerbox, i've removed the EGR valve and blacked it off. i assume this is normal practice when fitting a powerbox? is this missing EGR valve likely to be causing my problems? got myself a small plate at classic ford today too :) [IMG]http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r32/mwebb15_2006/9fb8b879.jpg[/IMG] [/quote]
