Title: 90 Blue Smoke Problem!!
Post by: MalBow on June 27, 2006, 18:07:46

I have an A reg 2.25l Diesel Land Rover 90, Im getting alot of blue smoke out the exhaust when its ticking over, it seems to ease off when I actually start moving although it does seem to be very 'fumey' all the time. Any ideas what might be causing it?

Timings slightly out? Ours seems to do very similair, although once the engines Warmed through mine clears up.

blue smoke would suggest it buring a bit of oil, probibly due to a worn valve stem seals or maybe worn piston rings.

Cheers guys, had a feeling it was something like the stem seals, nice to have a 2nd opinion though!
