right peeps see if we can work this one out.......

the bottom end went on my 2.5, i know it was the bottom as turning it over by hand i could feel the clunking, so off with the head no damage whatsoever, took the bottom out and iv replaced it with a very good bottom end (so i was told)
so the problem i have now is,
blue smoke thru the exhaust, loads of it, and now i have oil pouring out of my air filter, the engine is running fine, nice and quiet no clunking or anything,
so can anybody shed any light on what the hell is going on??

cheers :)

blue smokes means burning oil, if theres no damage to the head id guess its the piston rings, :cry: not good

i think another one could be the valve stem oil seals, cheaper to fix but still not good :cry:
