My chev 350 has some issues
Out of the left pipe, lots of smoke a bit of blue, a bit of greyish could be white, a bit of black, all mixed up. At idle and when reved.
Out of the right pipe, blueish smoke only visible using a torch at the pipe at idle, easily visible when reved.
Oil ok, coolant ok.
Compression test
--D---W

1 140 170
2 130 145
3 140 150
4 125 145
5 115 135
6 121 145
7 115 141
8 110 135

Any ideas

I am no expert but having recently fixed a problem that a compression test revealed I'd say your motor is about worn out!

Mine was reading 175 - 185 cold with one reading 100 which was the problem. It was low enough to not be firing when at idle but would fire above about 1200rpm.

Yours is consistantly low so a new set of rings - I believe 350's are pretty cheap to rebuild.

i hate to say it jumper but it may be time for a pull apart and a tickle up ,sounds like rings and bearings as a min maybe even a rebore

there s a shed in stokes valley where rebuilds are getting done all the time

you should take it there

sheds pretty darne full at the moment.

Not to full to squeeze my little nissan into i hope

I thought SIG's shed had a big TOYOTA ONLY sign on it

its in the Cruiser club must be a stealth ota

i think i might have to build another shed,gosh darn it all

It dosent sound like your burning too much oil if theres not too much blue smoke? Shit that truck still flys like the wind so maybe just keep driveing it till it does start to burn oil?

Plus another to store all the Tui you will be getting ......
