so this crap replacement engine I just fitted doesn't leak oil or rumble, but smokes on start up, and does a HUGE cloud of white/blue smoke when revved after ticking over for a minute. I reckon a recon cylinder head might be on the cards. any thoughts..?
 
Well It's come to a head now,was out in it Friday and the temp suddenly bent the needle round the hot end so I pulled over in a large cloud of steam.. Topped up the rad and as fast as I poured in it ****ed out the side of the block lust beneath the manifold. I think a core plug has popped. Luckily I was just over the road from Chelmsford 4x4 in Baker's Lane Galleywood. we pushed it round to their garage and locked up. Tomorrow I shall see if they will fix it. If not does anyone want a large door stop!?
 
It was a rotten core plug! new set if core plugs, jobs a goodun! The smoke was due to a faulty crankcase breather diaphragm making the inlet vacuum suck up the oil!!! now right as ninepence!!
