spudley1988 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Just wanted to do a wee update on oil usage. Still need to do a service and still using a fair whack of oil but no smoke coming from the rear. But i did a thermostat and coolant change the other day and the underside of my radiator cap had oil on it, and slight oil in water nothing really major. However as of yet I am not using any water so could this still be HG or summat else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudley1988 Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Just a wee update on the oil burning issue. Me and a mate removed HT lead 1 and 2 and both plugs were baked in oil so we are hoping buying a rocker cover gasket set may solve this issue once and for all. Also done a compression test and all was hunky dorie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
