it only smokes on idle and gets worse the hotter it gets! i know the car the turbo came off and it wasn't a smoker but it did loose oil pressure and throw an end so could've killed the turbo aswell!
i'm gonna take the turbo off this weekend and got a mate whose gonna re build it for me!
might just go on a mad 1 and rebuild the old engine at the same time! the previous owner had only just rebuilt the old engine so its got all new rings, shells and oil pump but he didn't bother getting the crank measured so it wasn't long before a big end went!
am i better off using the s12 or s13 bottom end because i have both in need of rebuilds or are they both pretty much the same?
