Smokey engine...!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #888 of 2693 |
I have a 1988 626 coupe 2.0l 16v that has recently started to smoke
quite heavily at start up. Its also using water at the moment but
with no apparent leaks. Could this possibly be related to a head
gasket problem or would it more likely be the valve seals are worn
out.
Any help is greatly appreciated.. The engine has done 135 000 miles.
Thanks ZACK

Hi Zack, and welcome to the club.. This depends on the colour of the smoke on startup.. Blue, and it's oil related, probably the valve stem seals as you say. ...
