mad_max Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Just failed a wof in my daily for it blowing smoke. Its a real heap of shit and not worth spending much on. Its just to get me round and is other than that quite reliable. Havent done compression test but am today, Im assuming its rings. Blowing blue smoke Couldnt care less about smoke, just want to pass wof for another 6months so any tricks or any way of fixing temporarily?

Ned Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Put in some stop smoke. I forgot which one was the good one, but it sure did work enough to get a wof. Also, park the car down the road from the wof place overnight to give it a short trip there so the car is still cold so the oil is nice and thick still. Or just put in thicker oil and stop smoke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 "stop smoke", get it at ripco or whatever, worked a treat on an old smokey hilux many moons ago (not that great for the motor though Iv'e been told) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad_max Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 Yea, I put some of that in, worked a bit but unsure if its enough, booked in for wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldturkey Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 change your oil to the thickest shit you can find made for "classic" cars. Not as much will leak past rings. edit: thick type oil is cheap too so if you want just put original oil in a container and swap it back out after wof if you wanted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
