    just been out in it and its still smoking like a good one , think it might be the valve seals so that's the next job might as well get the chain done at the same time .

    If you had problems with the old turbo and there is a coating of oil it will burn off ,if as you say it's stem seals it will keep on smoking

    ok thanks for the info will give it another couple of days of running around not sure how long it takes to burn off. Maybe a run would do the trick instead of 4 miles per day lol

    ^^ as above - takes at least 15 miles to get the oil fully up to temp


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
