seen as i have compression, im presuming the best course of action (other than replacement engine) is to strip the block down, re-hone the glazed bore, new set of piston rings (would it be worth replacing all 4 sets of piston rings?), new main bearings, new crank bearings, might as well get a...

not very hot, at the time we had all that snow, i only went out in the disco to have a bit of fun, wasn't worked hard, low revs everywhere when it snowed, no sign of shells wearing, nothing in the oil anyway.

sorry, yes blue smoke, it smokes right up until it reaches normal temperatures, maybe 5- 10 mins of running, 2 or 3 miles, after that no smoke. im assuming, that low oil pressure is either the pump? oil getting too hot and not passing through pump properly? is there a link between all of the...

i posted a couple of days ago, but im still confused as hell. dec last year my head gasket went, it was blowing compression on Number 4 cylinder, gasket was replaced about 4 weeks later. immediately after when the engine was worked hard by towing or long runs, when i would idle the oil light...

thats the only bit i cant get my head around, oil pressure is normal, (around 60psi) but oil light still flickering immediately after being loaded, im assuming its warning of low oil levels rather than oil pressure. starts fine, just smokey, runs a little rough, all the injectors have been...
