i have just rebuit my 1984 110 2.5 n/a engine,i have had the block rebored and head skimmed,(new valves etc done by local engineer) also new crank,pistons.
the engine starts fine but puts out a lot of grey/white smoke, after a few days with nothing getting better thought it might have been the pump so sent that away for service,came back nice and new looking but the smoke was still the same.
i have now noticed that there is drops of black oil comimg out of the exhust pipe where the down pipe meets the next section
could this be rings?(i dont think i cracked any when they were put in)
my other option would be to fit a 200tdi out of a disco that i have, which has just failed its mot(rust and plenty of it)
any ideas.
