well the trip went fine,but its still kicking out white smoke on start and idle,so at some point in the future its head off again,maybee replace valve guides,but i'm gona try to check the oil rings,thin oil around the piston and see if it dissapears,boy do i wish i'd done this when the engine was out,not too sure if the sump can come off in situ....
its not using a noticable amount of oil or water any ideas will be greatfuly recieved,oh and when i say smokey on start i meen smokey
