Pav's Albi Blue 197T

Not good Pav. Coil pack wouldn't cause smoke, and an injector would only cause smoke if it has fried a piston from running lean. Fingers crossed it's not too serious. Keep us updated.
 
yeah when i think about it..any decent place to get a new set from Sean??dont like where this is going one bit :sleepy:

Few engines on ebay, could try your luck with ones of the sellers. Or go all out for forged pistons :wink:

What colour was the smoke?
 
Head gasket isn't too bad if it's that, just skimming head and new seal...

Let's hope you find out sooner rather than later buddy.

Wasn't a nice way to end the day for you but at least it wasn't a crash which is what we were fearing when we pulled up further up...

hope it's no big deal pav. You need to see whether it was a one off failure or caused by something else.
