Smoking Engine On Standard 1.9

[christopher 5 1 Cars]

My mums 1992 1.9 has started to smoke a fair bit and it is up for MOT soon.

 

Question is what could be the cause?

• Worn Liners?
• Valve Stem seals?

It has only driven about 130k and has never been driven with vengence really.

 

What would be the next cause of action?

 

• Compression test?
• Wyn's Stop Leak to try and soften the rubbers??

Everything apart from taking then engine out and trying to find someone decent to renovate it:-/

 

Cheers

What kind of smoke and under what conditions?

Mines has 145k miles. And has recently started smoking a little. It runs like a dream. Just smokey. Ive had the manifold off and no signs of oil through the stem seals. So I'm thinking more of a bottom end fault. I intend to remove the engine a do a full rebuild.

He says it has white smoke when cold which goes away after a while....

sounds like normal condensation.
