I like the sound of the advice. What a cure for blue smoke! (Changes it to white, no doubt).

Hey, this guy Klitos is on the BX yahoogroup - he listed the car there also. Seems a nice chap. Not sure about the advice though!

Regards,

Mark.

My guess would be that the valve stem seals have gone - could be that synthetic oil softens them up a bit or makes them swell.

I`d have thought valve stem oil seals or pistons/rings. I have to say I`d be suprised if changing the oil would make much difference though.
