Series 3 diesel - replaced rings, valve guides, and seals, and still it smokes  :cry: .
It's clear on tick over, but when it rev's it gives off a fair bit of bluish smoke, any idea's guys?

Injector pump timing. The slightest movement can make a huge difference, Took me a whole weekend to get it right.

This is not a clever reply, but if you have not had the car long, check that the  fuel tank contains proper desiel and not various other things that may/may not burn!
