Blue Smoke Problem Overkill ?
I have now gone down the road of getting vital components to see if it will cure my ongoing problem. I will start with fitting 4 refurbed injectors as MarinaBrian suggested, if that does not cure it then I shall get the Turbo fitted. If some of you think I have more money than sense so be it.
If it is still not happy then it may be the stem seals. This is what I have waiting to be fitted. Rev |

Hi Julien, I am really sorry to see you are having to go through the pain of the expense involved. Hopefully the solution will be as Brian suggests and not the stem seals.

I should add, that I have seen the camshaft and one end of it was rusty and brittle. It was just a matter of time before it was going to fail. I don’t blame the mechanic for what happened.

I think either injectors (though I thought they would make white or black smoke) or turbo seal (same symptoms as valve stem seals).

This will be an interesting exercise Julian. Is it the injectors? Is it stem seals? Is it turbo? This is intriguing. I hope it is the injectors, Best of luck.
