couldnt stop the heavy smoke by timing and injectors an all that so took the head off fully refurbed it and a de-coke put it back together and found it to be smoking 10 times worse

its now named hitler ( gassed the street out within 10 minutes of running )

i think the coked up head was hiding the underlying problem that the rings are fried so now im collecting all the bits and its gonna be a balls out rebuild attempted in 1 day to see if im right

if its not right when ive done the only thing left will be getting the fuel distribution pump reconditioned ( mega expensive job )

appart from the smoke though it runs like new but has loads of crank case pressure
