The plume of blue smoke is a indicator that the engine is running. Its an aid for the Deaf.Also the eye watering emissions help the sight impared. The Germans were way ahead of the times.

Give it an Oil and filter change.monitor the Oil consumption by using the hour clock as a reference. If your happy with it smoking then its up to. I would recomend getting to compression tested and the injectors looked at (they have to come out for the test).Also they can see if the bores are glazed at the same time.It could also be the seal between the valve train and the intake ports on the head,if that splits it sucks oil into the intakes when its running,easy fix. We can all hypothesis untill the Cows come home,but is burning oil and its good to know why.

Thank you Alec
-
Exactly the man I need to talk to! Thanks Rich.

This might turn into "Ians engine rebuild thread" looking at the colour and form of that smoke.Consider having it compression tested and the injectors looked at.

I need to be recomended someone. I could have played the google game too,however the wheels are irreplaceable as the carridge is probably the last known one in existence.
-
They will be used to an extent. Thank you for extending your offer but these need to right first time.
-
That would be great if you could mate.They are more like Old Car wheels than Cart wheels,Metal Hubs with Brass bushes.Its all there,just the wood is knackered.
-
I have two wooden Cart type wheels I need rebuilt.I have the Hubs,Tyres,fellows and rims but wood is rotten. Does anyone on here undertake such work or recommend anyone who does? These need to be spot on.
-
I think you need to get out a bit more mate
-
Why? Its an Air Rifle .
-
Yes. That was the combat uniform we used to wear whilst pruning trees for the benefit of starving communities
-
Never been that lucky mate. I was recruited to DART after passing my deep sea skydiver selection.
-
I'm ex D.A.R.T.
-
Fair enough mate £499?
-
I'll take it for £500
-
We are not in the SAS. Wind your neck in.
-
One tidy Hilux that mate!

Just enjoying exposing the lies you tell Ian. Nothing more than keeping you honest In a way like that Judge you told to "go ----k himself" that time you were in Court. Remember that story?
-
Modest to a fault you are Ian.
-
Oh ok,its just that I stumbled upon a article you wrote where you called yourself "one of the fathers of srt in europe". I just wondered how far back you began its development.
-
Did you come up with any names for the redirects or systems Ian?
-
How long ago was this Ian?
-
All very interesting stuff guys. I wonder who the gifted visionary was who brought it first to Europe? Someone who might be considered the Father of European SRT? Probably someone quite obscure,just getting on with the job and never drawing attention to themselves.

With the relatively recent popularity of SRT techniques,I am interested to learn approximately when it became well known in the Arb scene. Since many of the new techniques are often pioneered on the competition circuit,I am also interested to know why the technique has not yet been accepted as a valid competitive platform ?
