Title: Given up smokin'
Post by: snowy on July 13, 2017, 08:38:20 PM
Just a quick update since my last service - the big one!
After reading several threads about smoking on start up and changing cam sensor seal, asked garage to check.
I was advised "never done on of those, but rocker cover gaskets are known to weep!"
So, new rocker cover gasket ordered and fitted while spanner was tappet checking.
3 months later, plenty of miles and park ups, not a sign of the start up burning oil since gasket changed!
Well happy! :clap:
