Aplogies if thisnis in the wrong forum.
My newly aquired defender 90 with a 300tdi in it smokes like a machine.
Beleived to be a turbo fault so replaced turbo and intercooler due to the amount of oil. Still smoked so got the head checked which was found to have a crack in it, replaced for new with all new valves etc included. Still smoked so pulled the engine out and checked bores etc, deep groove on cylinder 2 so thought iv gone this far may aswell fork out for a full recon short block. So with a new turbo/Intercooler/cylinder head/short block/timing kit it still bloody smokes (neighbour complained during testing ) I'm 100% sure the timing is ok, 9.5 mm drill bit fits fine in the fuel pump along with cam lining up on its mark and notch in flyweel present and acounted for. I took the egr bla k plate off and covered it loosely while it ran with a rag and got showers of what I would say is oil particles, black and slightly thin. I must also admit it did cheap out and got non oe Injectors but I don't think they are the cause. What else could it potentially be apart from component failure (possibly.faulty new parts etc?
